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.
This snippet of a decibel chart from the American Academy of Audiology shows what decibel level is equal to the amount of sound you might hear. You can see the full chart here. The dishwashers listed range from 38 to 40 decibels. That means they will make less noise than a quiet library.
