Decibel - Logarithmic unit used to describe ratios of signal levels - like power or intensity - to a reference level.Measurements & Instrumentation - Measurement and instrumentation strategies.Noise and Attenuation - Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound - noise, noise generation, silencers and attenuation in HVAC systems.Acoustics - Room acoustics and acoustic properties, decibel A, B and C, Noise Rating (NR) curves, sound transmission, sound pressure, sound intensity and sound attenuation.Note! Adding two identical sources (doubling the signal) will increase the total signal level with 3 dB (10 log(2)). L s - signal level from single source (decibel, dB)Īdding equal signal sources can be expressed graphicallyĭownload and print Adding Signal Level of Equal Sources chart. Adding Equal Signals Units CalculatorĪdding Equal Signal Levels (decibels) Calculator The "sound" measured with microphones or sensors (meters) are sound pressure. Sound power and sound power level are often used to specify the noise or sound emitted from technical equipment like fans, pumps or other machines. Total sound power from two identical fans each generating 1 W in noise power can be calculated as Example - Total Sound Power from Two Identical Fansįor sound power it is common to use 10 -12 W as the reference sound power. The signal units depends on the nature of the signal - W for power, Pa for pressure and so on. L s = signal level from each single source ( dB) The total signal level in decibel from equal signal sources can be calculated as The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio of two signal values - like power, sound power or pressure, voltage, intensity etc.
