Psychophysics of Sound • We have a non-linear perceptual response to sound pressure waves • Intensity Level [Bels]: IL = log10(I/Iref), where Iref is least audible (usually use 10-12 W) • But this is too large, so we use decibels (dB): 10 log10(I/Iref) • Since I = P2, Sound Pressure Level in dB is ...
