The logarithmic decibel scale is convenient calculating sound power levels and sound pressure levels for two or more sound source.
Adding Equal Sound or Noise Power Sources
The resulting sound power when adding equal sound power sources can be expressed as:Lwt = 10 log(n N / N0)= 10 log(N / N0) + 10 log(n)= Lws + 10 log(n) (1)
where
Lwt = the total sound power level (dB)
Lws= sound power level from each single source (dB)
N = sound power (W)
N0 = 10-12 - reference sound power (W)
n = number of sources
Adding Equal Sound Power Calculator
Adding of equal sound power sources can be expressed graphicallySound 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.
Adding Equal Sound Pressure Levels
The resulting sound pressure level when adding equal sound pressure can be expressed as:Lpt = Lps + 10 log(n) (2)
where
Lpt = total sound pressure level (dB)
Lps = sound pressure level from each single source (dB)
n = number of sources
Adding Equal Sound Pressure Levels Calculator
Number of Sources | Increase in Sound Power Level (dB) | Increase in Sound Pressure Level (dB) |
2 | 3 | 6 |
3 | 4.8 | 9.6 |
4 | 6 | 12 |
5 | 7 | 14 |
10 | 10 | 20 |
15 | 11.8 | 23.6 |
20 | 13 | 26 |
Adding Sound Power from Sources with different Sound Powers
The sound power level from more than one source can be calculated asLwt = 10 log( (N1 + N2 ... + Nn) / No) (3)Adding two sources at different levels can be expressed graphically as
