Sound pressure level (SPL)
The SPL of a sound is equal to twenty times the logarithm (base 10) of the ratio of the root-mean-square sound pressure to the reference sound pressure. As a point of reference, 0 dBSPL equals the threshold of hearing, while 140 dB-SPL produces irreparable hearing damage.
