What Does SPL Stand For?
SPL stands for Sound Pressure Level
SPL, or Sound Pressure Level, is a quantitative measure of the pressure variation in a sound wave relative to a reference pressure level, typically expressed in decibels (dB). It is a critical parameter in acoustics that helps assess the intensity of sound in various environments, enabling professionals to evaluate noise levels, ensure compliance with regulations, and design effective sound control measures. SPL measurements are essential in fields such as audio engineering, environmental monitoring, and occupational health and safety.
