S/N and (S+N)/N When measuring signal to noise ratio there are two basic elements to the measurement. One is the noise level and the other is the signal. As a result of the way measurements are made, often the signal measurement also includes noise as well, i.e. it is a signal plus noise measurement.
The logarithmic decibel scale is convenient calculating sound power levels for two or more sound sources. Adding Equal Sound or Noise Power Sources. Adding Equal Sound Power Calculator. Note! Adding of two identical sources will increase the total sound power level with 3 dB (10 log(2)). Sound power and sound power level are often used to specify the noise or sound emitted from technical equipment like fans, pumps or other machines. Sound measured with microphones or sensors are sound pressure.
