The decibel, symbolized by dB, is a logarithmic unit of measurement for the power or loudness of a sound. It measures the ratio of a physical value, like sound pressure or power, to a reference level. On the decibel scale, 0 dB is the threshold of human hearing, and 120 to 140 dB is the level of sound that becomes painful to the ears. Because the human ear is sensitive to differences in sound levels in a logarithmic fashion, the decibel scale is a convenient unit of measurement for sound levels.
