Decibel A, B, and C Weighting

Sound pressure filters compensate for the sensitivity of the human ear, which is most sensitive to sounds in the 1 to 4 kHz range. Enter your raw measurements below to apply the standard A, B, and C weighting curves.

Total (Logarithmic Sum):- dB(A)- dB(B)- dB(C)

Note: Totals are calculated using exact logarithmic addition 10 × log₁₀( Σ 10^(Lᵢ / 10) ) rather than the manual estimation method.
