Street party db level

According to that a telephone dial is louder than 70db!

Which is why I questioned the accuracy of the measurement. Even without looking, I knew that level was very very low.

How about helping me instead of taking the mick just because iv stated my birth year in my username you think it's ok to brand me as a young crappy Dj that has raves on his own street with my mates haha it was for a 40th birthday party in alderley hedge, and i was asking for help because I've test my db for my speakers and it's 70db but don't worry I didn't get any further complaints from neighbours, I just thought this forum was for help, advise I won't ask again

Did they plant the hedge to stop people falling over the edge?

interesting point, it says on it 80 db is a telephone dial...115 db is a loud rock concert. so if you get a telephone dial turn the colume up to double what it should be sound and it would be even louder than a rock concert? lol

That's not how it works. 3db is a doubling of volume (pretty sure that is right).

Put it like this. On Saturday I was playing pretty loud and running about 92db on the dancefloor at 3m. The band were doing about 95db. They sounded twice as loud as I did for sure (which explains the people who went outside).

3db is a doubling of POWER.
10db is a doubling of VOLUME
