Question

1 hz = how many decibels?

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Decibel is the unit of measuring the intensity of sound

Hertz (Hz) is the unit of measuring frequency.

Hence , this conversion is not possible

Answer 2

1 phon is equivalent to 1 deciBel at 1000 Hz (1 kHz). The conversion of hz to deciblel is not possible. decibel is the unit of measuring intensity. hz is the unit of measuring frequency.

Explanation:

• Hz and decibels are different units used to describe different qualities of a waveform. They're often used in Acoustic and Electrical engineering.    

• A Hz, named after scientist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, is a unit describing frequency; how often a cycle repeats in one second.  

• A decibel, named after Alexander Graham Bell, deals with amplitudes. It's used to describe the ratio of power; how loud a sound or strong an electrical signal is compared to some reference.

• Sound wave frequencies can be measured with a frequency counter or with a spectrum analyzer.
• These devices work by using a microphone to convert the sound wave into an electrical signal. The peaks and valleys of wave are counted to find the frequency.
