11 unusual facts about Decibel


1st World Deaf Ice Hockey and Curling Championships

To qualify for the games, athletes must have a hearing loss of at least 55 dB in their "better ear".

Cameron Indoor Stadium

The students and fans are known as "Cameron Crazies" for their support of the team and loud cheering that has been recorded as high as 121.3 dB, which is louder than a power saw at 3' or a jackhammer.

DBQ

dBq dB(quarterwave), the gain of an antenna compared to a quarter wavelength whip.

Inverse-square law

The energy or intensity decreases (divided by 4) as the distance r is doubled; measured in dB it would decrease by 6.02 dB per doubling of distance.

In acoustics, the sound pressure of a spherical wavefront radiating from a point source decreases by 50% as the distance r is doubled; measured in dB, the decrease is still 6.02 dB, since dB represents an intensity ratio.

James A. Rhodes Arena

The system has reached a maximum decibel level of 115 dB during games, and is rated up to 130 dB.

Mediumwave transmitter Bremen

This aerial has a high gain of 4.5 dB, which means that the 50 kW transmitter feeding it produces the same effect as a 140 kW transmitter feeding an antenna with a gain of 1 dB.

Patch Boomhauer

He even gets clearance from the fire department to go above the designated noise level (70dB) for one night of fun.

Peter O. Knight Airport

Sound tests conducted by the Aviation Authority showed an increase of 3 dB or less over current usage at the closest residences, or an average of about 58 dB during run ups to take off.

Sleepwell Deconstructor

Decibel talked about the mix of styles on the album and weren't quite sure what to make of it (though they did give a positive review).

Surround Optical Fiber Immunoassay

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, fiberoptic cables are essentially 100% efficient in optical transmission, having an attenuation less than 10 dB per kilometer.

A Moment in Chiros

The genesis of A Moment in Chiros was King's desire to re-involve himself in recording music, though on a more limited basis after spreading himself thinly between bands such as Avian, Krucible and Decibel; at a young age Lance began witnessing cases of the 11:11 time prompt phenomenon gradually increasing in the last few years it was becoming a daily occurrence leading Lance to learn more about this and the other number prompts associated with it as he witnessed these.

Bo Hansson

He returned once again to Studio Decibel and began work on recordings that were inspired by another book; Richard Adams' Watership Down.

Lavalier microphone

A peak of approximately 6 dB at 6-8 kHz is considered beneficial for compensating loss of clarity when chest-mounted, as is a peak of a few decibels at 10–15 kHz when mounted in the hair above the forehead.

Molotov Jive

While recordings of second album "Songs For The Fallen Apart" were taking place with producer Tom Hakava, in Decibel Studio in Stockholm in 2008, Molotov Jive toured with many UK acts, including Arctic Monkeys, The Coral, Razorlight, Dirty Pretty Things and US punk band The Dirtbombs.

Pressure Sounds

PS39 - Dennis Bovell - Decibel - More Cuts & Dubs 1976-1983 - 2003

Pygopodidae

Individuals in the species Delma pax can respond to a 60-decibel sound with a frequency of 11,100 Hz, more than an octave above the highest note on a standard piano.

Thyrfing

2003 followed with further live-promotion, such as the Generation Armageddon Festivals (including Ancient Rites, Septic Flesh, Primordial, Blood Red Throne and Skyfire), a 12-day European tour throughout Europe, and performances on the main festival stages of 2000 Decibel in Sweden and Wacken Open Air in Germany.
