Sound Pressure
Since audible sound consists of pressure waves, one of the ways to quantify the sound is to state the amount of pressure variation relative to atmospheric pressure caused by the sound. Because of the great sensitivity of human hearing, the threshold of hearing corresponds to a pressure variation less than a billionth of atmospheric pressure.
The standard threshold of hearing can be stated in terms of pressure and the sound intensity in decibels can be expressed in terms of the sound pressure:
DI(dB) = 20 log10(V2/V1)
where V1 and V2 are the measured voltage amplitudes .
