Is RMS the same as dB?
RMS level. Put short, this represents the general signal level. It is also measure in ”dB”. It is often used to measure the loudness (sound pressure) of a song.
How do you measure loudness of sound?
We measure sound intensity (also referred to as sound power or sound pressure) in units called decibels. Decibels (dB) are named in honor of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of both the telephone and the audiometer. An audiometer is a device that measures how well a person can hear certain sounds.
What is RMS in dB?
RMS, which stands for root mean square, is a metering tool that measures the average loudness of an audio track within a window of roughly 300 milliseconds. The value displayed is an average of the audio signal.
