    Lovely question! He's using a different definition of the decibel that is more common in audio. If you'll consider wikipedia:Decibel, there's a nice table that relates decibels to power ratio in a general way that applies here. 0 dB means his speakers are getting a full power ratio of 1. -infinity dB, although not shown, means that his speakers will get no power. Also, up or down from his zero level is equivalent. It's like stretching or compressing a spring. Hope that helps.

That place also has mountains and is at 11000 ft of elevation. For me is not an issue. (2) have you hear about LabView? If so, what do you think about of use it for sound spectra analysis?

    For instance, in my favorite audio editor, 0dB means that I'm not changing the amplitude of the signal. So it's neutral in that sense.

  • @crashsitetube
    @crashsitetube 5 лет назад +1

    I have several problems with the explanation given in this video for how sound works...which, unfortunately is the "official" version as taught in the school science curriculum.
    To zero in on one:
    @6:16 you state that sound is a vibration of air particles (with air as the propagating medum) and you suggest, with your pen, that they are vibrating in a longitudinal manner (changing position to be alternating closer and farther from the eardrum which they are near). So, I guess these air particles are imparting that vibration to the eardrum?
    What force(s) are acting on the particles to make them move toward the eardrum? And, perhaps more important, what force(s) make them move away from the eardrum?
    When the particles are moving away from the eardrum, how do they...pull(?) on the eardrum to make it move? To make it flex toward the sound source.
    In this video (ruclips.net/video/cK2-6cgqgYA/видео.htmlm55s), it seems to be working exactly as you describe it with the air particles "vibrating" (moving back and forth near the diaphragm), pushing and pulling on the diaphragm, making it move by some sort of sympathetic action.
    But, just as in your video, no explanation is even attempted to explain the forces acting on the air particles to make them vibrate nor is there any explanation of the forces acting on the diaphragm/eardrum to make either of them move.
    I would be interested (as I'm sure would others) to know just what is making those things move as they are shown to do (at least as can be hand-drawn or animated) and more importantly, how it actually works when sounds are present.

      Yes. You can calculate the 90th percentile of any data range, including a range of leq readings. Note the acoustic term "L90" is actually the mathematical 10th percentile. Excel has an easy percentile function you can look up.

  • @crashsitetube
    @crashsitetube 8 лет назад

    I'm a firm believer that "real" stuff takes precedence over mathematically derived stuff.
    BNSF rails pass by my house and just over a mile at the closest. I can clearly hear the horn on the locomotive. I can not just hear it, I can record it (analog or digital) and get a playback that's about as loud as I heard it.
    I know there is nothing in the recorder that has any logarithmic characteristics.
    Thoughts?
    On a related side note, why don't the compressions and rarefactions of the longitudinal sound waves diffuse in the 5+ seconds it takes for the sound to reach me?

    I wonder if you can answer a question about decibels i have on someone elses video explanation that i dont get.If you type in decibel to u tube at the very top is an example by war beats for audio.He shows a wave and says the middle is -INFdB 0.00 then goes up from it too -0.00db and then back to the centre -INFdB 0.00 and then down to - 0.00dB.So far i learned that - INFdb 0.00 is no sound.So i can understand how going up from that to 0.00db reaches maximum for computer...but continued

    0.00dB is a neutral level. Sounds like the sound was travelling in a panning effect while maintaining a neutral sound level. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @tsvasekar
      @tsvasekar 7 лет назад

      It's for sake of calculations... it is easy to calculate when it comes in power of 10.... most of sound level we write are like -10dB, 30dB, 60dB, etc..... so it'd been very difficult to write it down in natural log(ln function on any scientific calculator) system...

  • @crashsitetube
    @crashsitetube 8 лет назад

    @ about 3:45 to 4:00 You ask if we would "agree". I do not agree. If we try to follow your mathematically derived explanation, we're forced to conclude that, like the eardrum, a (dynamic) microphone diaphragm must also give a usable output when it moves only the width of a molecule. See my previous post that was ignored/overlooked/too-wrong-for-consideration. We need a better description of how sound propagates than is taught in the school science curriculum.
