Level

A descriptor applied to a unit of measurement of sound (or vibration) that denotes the physical quantity is a logarithmic representation of the underlying phenomenon. The decibel is normally used to denote that the value should be referred to as a level rather than the true physical quantity. The most used such value is the ‘A’ weighted sound pressure level expressed as a dB value.
