A sound that causes pain has intensity about 1014 times i0


Question: Decibel readings in Problem use the fact that the loudness of sound (in decibels) perceived by the human ear depends on intensity levels according to

L = 10 log (I/I0)

where I0 is the threshold of hearing for the average human ear.

A sound that causes pain has intensity about 1014 times I0. Find the decibel reading for this threshold.
