Schall Intensity Level RechnerFormel

## Sound Intensity Level

The decibel scale expresses sound intensity relative to the threshold of human hearing.

### Formula

**L = 10 log10(I / I0)**

- *I* = sound intensity (W/m2)
- *I0* = 10^-12 W/m2 (reference threshold)

Every 10 dB increase corresponds to a tenfold increase in intensity. Normal conversation is about 60 dB; a rock concert about 110 dB.

Lösungsbeispiel

Sound intensity of 0.001 W/m2.

  1. L = 10 log10(I / I0)
  2. L = 10 log10(0.001 / 1e-12)
  3. L = 10 log10(1e9)
  4. L = 10 * 9 = 90 dB
