Decibel

Real World Example

Imagine trying to read a book in a bustling café, where the chatter and clinking dishes make it hard to concentrate. Just like how the café noise makes it difficult to focus on your book, measuring sound loudness with decibels helps us understand and quantify the "noise" level in various environments. In this analogy, the volume of chatter is akin to sound intensity, and the unit of decibels helps us compare different noise levels, making it easier to determine when the café becomes too loud for comfortable reading.
