Suppose you are listening to a sound with frequency of 200 Hz
and amplitude of 20 μPa.
- What is the SPL of that sound (please express
your result in dB)
[Hint: use the formula SPL=20log10(A/Ao) where Ao=20micro
pascals
- Do you think you would be able to perceive this sound? Explain
your answer.
[Hint: you will need to look at the Fletcher-Munson diagram]
