This document discusses sound levels measured in decibels. It notes that 0dB is the quietest sound a human can hear, 30-40dB is ideal for a quiet environment, sounds over 50dB can affect sleep, and over 70dB can affect work efficiency. Long term exposure to sounds over 90dB can damage hearing. Exposure to 150dB noise could cause immediate hearing loss. It provides examples of sound levels measured in daily life and explains the speed of sound in air is 340m/s.
