New Course: Yamaha Acoustic Engineering Program - 4. Sound Intensity and Loudness: Levels and Calculations

The Yamaha Acoustic Engineering Program continues with its fourth course. Building on the previous lesson about sound intensity, loudness, and decibels, this course explores how “level” works in acoustics—connecting sound pressure, sound intensity, and perceived loudness, and explaining how decibel values are defined and used in real-world audio scenarios.

This course explains how acoustic quantities are expressed as levels and why reference values are essential when working with decibels. You will learn how sound pressure level (SPL) is defined, how sound pressure and sound intensity are related, how frequency sensitivity and weighting filters affect perceived loudness, and how to perform practical decibel calculations for real-world audio applications.
