How Decibels Apply to Music and Sound. In music, decibels are a measurement of Sound Pressure Level (SPL). When we say the speakers at a rock concert are playing at 110dB, what we really mean is that theyâre playing at 110dB SPL. Since the decibel is only a ratio, 110dB is actually a comparison to a different number: 0 SPL.
The Practical Use Of The Decibel Scale. For practical purposes with audio engineering work, the reference scale most commonly used is dBm. The âmâ uses 1 mV as a reference of power. Since most audio equipment settings uses this as the reference, a 3 dB difference is considered twice or half as loud.
