How loud is 43Db

How loud is 43Db when compared with 52Db. Sorry to ask what seems to me as
a
slightly daft question but our kitchen is open plan and noisy appliances
are
not welcome.
I obviously do not own a decibel meter (I am sure they are not called
that).
So could anyone offer a comparison.
Thanks
