Decibels
So I’ve known for a while that decibels are the way you measure noise, at least I think that’s what the Police officer was telling me as I tried to turn down my guitar amp all those years ago.
Anyway, I just stumbled across this really nice table, which lists decibel levels and correlates them with things that you can relate to. For example, apparently 20db is the sound of a whisper, whereas 115db is loud rock music, 60db is a noisy office etc.
