How Decibels Apply to Music and Sound. In music, decibels are a measurement of Sound Pressure Level (SPL). When we say the speakers at a rock concert are playing at 110dB, what we really mean is that theyâre playing at 110dB SPL. Since the decibel is only a ratio, 110dB is actually a comparison to a different number: 0 SPL.
This tolerance does not make them immune to the damage that loud sounds can produce. Some sources quote 120 dB as the pain threshold and define the audible sound frequency range as ending at about 20,000 Hz where the threshold of hearing and the threshold of pain meet.
