Sound Level Converter
Convert between different units of sound level, including decibels, phons, and sones.
Enter the value and units to convert.
The Sound Level Converter is a tool that allows you to convert between different units of sound level, such as decibels (dB), phons, and sones. This tool is helpful for acousticians, audio engineers, and anyone working with sound measurement, as these units are commonly used to measure the intensity or perception of sound.
Inputs:
- Value: The numerical value of sound intensity or perception you want to convert.
- From Unit: The unit you are converting from (choose from decibels, phons, or sones).
- To Unit: The unit you want to convert to (choose from decibels, phons, or sones).
Output:
- The converted value in the chosen unit of sound level.

How to Use the Sound Level Converter:
Enter the Value:
- Input the value of the sound level in the “Value” field (e.g., the sound intensity in decibels, phons, or sones).
Select the Units:
- Choose the unit you are converting from (decibels, phons, or sones) using the From Unit dropdown.
- Choose the unit you want to convert to (decibels, phons, or sones) using the To Unit dropdown.
Click Convert:
- Press the Convert button to get the result of the conversion.
Download Conversion (Optional):
- After conversion, click the Download Conversion (PDF) button to download the result as a text file for reference.
Unit Definitions:
- Decibels (dB): A logarithmic unit used to measure the intensity of sound. It is often used in acoustics and audio engineering.
- Phons: A unit of perceived loudness of sound, typically used in hearing studies. It is equivalent to decibels for pure tones.
- Sones: A unit used to measure the perceived loudness of sound, where 40 sones corresponds to a sound perceived as “just audible.”
This converter is useful for understanding and converting between different sound level units used in various fields.
