Why decibels in acoustics - Acoustics Basics

Whether for sound pressure measurements or sound power measurements, the measured values are always given in dB.
Why are decibel values given in acoustics?
This tutorial explains why this is useful and helpful in acoustics and how to calculate decibel values.

Great explanation! Came here to why ambient noise has little effect on vehicle noise tests but left wanting to learn more. Your passion for acoustics is very inspiring.

Decibels are not just a calculation rule. But it is an idea to simplification. Thanks for your feedback. You are welcome.

Super, macht ihr das Video auch auf deutsch? :)

[@HEADacousticsInternational]

Diese Frage hat uns schon auf mehreren Wegen ereilt. Dann gehen wir das an. Danke für die Rückmeldung

[@sofa7638]

@@HEADacousticsInternational Prima, Danke. Ich finde es gibt niemand anderen, der Akustik-Themen so genial und einfach erklären kann wie ihr!

[@HEADacousticsInternational]

Das ist aber ein großer Blumenstrauß, den wir gerne annehmen. Danke! Solche Rückmeldungen geben uns noch einmal Schub.
