About Sone to Decibel (dB) Conversion
Converting from Sone to Decibel (dB) is a common sound conversion.
This online converter allows you to easily convert between sone and decibel (db), providing instant results with high precision.
Sone
Definition: The sone is a unit of perceived loudness (1 sone = loudness of 1 kHz tone at 40 dB SPL). Doubling sones doubles perceived loudness.
History: Developed by Stanley Smith Stevens in the 1930s for psychoacoustics research. Created a linear scale of loudness perception.
Current use: Used in noise control engineering and audio design where human loudness perception matters more than physical measurements.
Decibel (dB)
Definition: The decibel (symbol: dB) is a logarithmic unit used to measure sound intensity level relative to a reference value. It expresses the ratio between two sound pressures as ten times the base-10 logarithm of the ratio.
History: Developed in the 1920s by Bell Labs to measure signal loss in telephone circuits. Named after Alexander Graham Bell. Originally based on the bel (1 dB = 0.1 B), but decibels became more practical for most audio measurements.
Current use: Standard unit for sound pressure levels (SPL), audio equipment specs, and noise measurements. Used from quiet libraries (30 dB) to rock concerts (110+ dB) and hearing safety regulations.
