Relative dB: Example Calculation 1<br />

Two sound pressure measurements are made using an ultrasonic<br />

transducer. The output voltage from the transducer is 600 mv for the first<br />

measurement and 100 mv for the second measurement. Calculate the<br />

difference in the sound intensity, in dB, between the two measurements?<br />

The sound intensity changed by -15.56dB. In other words, the sound<br />

intensity decreased by 15.56 dB
