Sound Power Level Calculator

Compute Lw = 10·log₁₀(W / 1e-12) in dB from sound power.

Input Data

Input Sound power W.
W

Results

60dB
Lw = 10·log₁₀(W / 1e-12).

At a glance:Sound Power Level Calculator: enter parameters to compute results; complements related calculators.

Formula

Lw = 10·log₁₀( W / W₀ ), W₀ = 1×10⁻¹² W.

How to Use

  1. Enter sound power (W).
  2. It returns Lw (dB).

Case Studies

W=1e-6 W → Lw=60 dB

Lw = 10·log₁₀(1e6) = 60 dB.

FAQ

What is W₀?

Reference power 1×10⁻¹² W, near the threshold of hearing.
