why should we measure sound?


To know more about something we need to measure them, this not only enables us to understand a particular criterion better but also helps us to device methodologies enabling us to control the same. The same applies to sound.

The measurement of sound will help us to precisely and scientifically control the unwanted sounds. Moreover the intensity of sound tends to play a very important role in ones hearing capability. Exposure to high levels of sound can cause damage to the ears and its sensitivity to hear. This is done separately in a field of study known as audiometry.

The various methods by which we measure sound are as follows:
  • Sound Pressure Level
  • Sound Intensity Level
  • Sound Power Level
  • Frequency Spectrum
  • Frequency response function.
