What is noise Noise is define d as unwanted sound. A sound might be unwanted because it is loud,
distrac ting, or annoying
176 4 2 K1 A

How is noise measured Litera lly spe aking, noise can't be me asured directly, since there is no instrument for
objectively detecting how "unwanted" something is. What can be measured is the
177 5 1 K1 A
sound level, a quantific ation of a sound's pressure or intensity and re la ted to its
loudness. Sound level is me asured in dec ibels (dB), by a device ca lled a sound level
What is a decibel meter
A decibel is the that is used to mearsure the noise level in theAtmosphere.
178 5 1 K1 A

5 What are typica l decibel levels of some A whisper is 30 dB, conversationa l speech is 60 dB, a nd someone shouting a t you from
common sounds? an arm' s length awa y is 85 dB. Noise levelsof home a ppliances range from 50 dB (a
179 5 2 refrige rator) to 95 dB (a food processor). La wn equipment and power tools have noise K1 A
le vels of 80–120 dB.

How many decibels can the human ear handle Immediate and irreversible nerve damage can be caused by sounds at 140 dB or highe r
(120 dB in young children). H owe ver, damage also occurs a t lower sound leve ls, and
this harm ac cumulates over time. A ny sound above 85 dB can cause w ear and tea r on
180 5 2 your ears tha t reduce s your hearing acuity over time. K1 A

What is the loudest sound possible Sound is normally carried in air as a pressure wave. When the pre ssure of a sound
wave becomes a s high as the air pressure itself, the sound be comes a shock w ave .
181 6 1 K1 A

What is normal air pressure Norma l air pressure a t sea le vel is 14.7 pounds pe r square inch (psi), or 101,325
pascals (Pa ), whic h is equivalent to 194 decibels (dB). So 194 dB is the loudest sound
182 6 1 K1 A
possible in air at se a leve l; beyond that point it becomes a shock wave. (Sound waves
that are transmitted through water or other substances would have different limits.)
What are the effects of noise on human health N oise has dire ct physiological effects suc h as he aring damage (including hea ring loss
