No it isn't. And you can hear much less than this, if you're trying
to listen for "which tone is louder" experiments.

I'm not even going to start posting the definition of the Bel. UFGFFS.

43 dB is a "typical room" sort of level. 52dB is "outdoors on a city
street".


Nah, thats more lke 85dB


"city street with no heavy traffic" I live out in the sticks.
