How many Hz is a dB?
1 phon is equivalent to 1 deciBel at 1000 Hz (1 kHz).
How do you convert to dB?
The dB is calculated via two different expressions XdB=10log10(XlinXref)orYdB=20log10(YlinYref). If you convert a quantity X that relates to power or energy, the factor is 10. If you convert a quantity Y that relates to amplitude, the factor is 20.
What does dB Hz mean?
Decibels measure sound intensity (amplitude)
It can be measured in two ways: frequency and amplitude. Frequency, reported in Hertz (Hz), measures the number of sound vibrations in one second. In daily life, this corresponds to how low- or high-pitched something is. A child's voice is high frequency, for example.
