Question

Which one would be felt louder: a sound with a SIL of 60dB and a frequency of 40Hz or a sound with a SIL of 60dB and a frequency of 100Hz ? a) they both will appear to have the same loudness b) sound with a SIL of 60dB c) sound with a SIL of 60dB and a frequency of 1000Hz d) whichever is sounded first e) cannot say and a frequency of 40ã

Answer 1

a) they both will appear to have the same loudness

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about how loud a sound is , we describe it in decibels (dB). The value of this unit on measurement in this question is what we are going to build our answer on.

Their sound intensity level is the same at 60db even though each of these separate sounds have different frequencies of 40Hz and 100Hz respectively.

The both of them will therefore have the same loudness actually as their sound intensity level has no difference bat 60db each.
