The GJ8 series multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) claim to lower acoustic noise in consumer and industrial electronic applications by as much as 30 dB in the 1 µF model. Acoustic noise ...

We live in a noisy world, from traffic and aircraft congestion to construction sites, TV shows, and many other sources. But understanding dB measurements can help, as we will soon see. Noise is an ...

CSR’s powerful CVC dual microphone software incorporates Dual Microphone Signal Separation (DMSS) DSP processing that delivers up to 30dB of noise suppression in both dynamic and stationary noise ...

From the Richter scale to sound pressure, many modern units utilize the logarithmic “base 10” system. But to many engineers, the decibel (dB) remains one of the trickiest concepts of test and ...

Editor's Note: We have strived to maintain accessibility in our Bring Science Home activities by limiting the required technology. We recognize technology is now more widely available than it was when ...

One of the most difficult-to-understand terms for newcomers (and even experienced enthusiasts) in audio and sound reproduction is the decibel, partly because it’s a measure of relative intensity or ...
