If: a) The threshold of human hearing is one micro bar = one atmosphere /
1,000,000 = 0 db re u bar b) The max amplitude of a sound wave conducted by air would be a vacuum in the trough and 2 atmospheres at the peakThen the max amplitude sound wave would be 20 log 2,000,000 = 126 db
How do they get 130 db?
Is it a square wave with root[2] = 1.414 => 129 db?
Thanks in advance
