Typical Noise Levels (measured in decibels)

Here is a complete decibels guide for anyone who suffers from hyperacusis and/or tinnitus:

Notes:

- As it is shown in the chart above, a noise source can have different decibel levels which will depend on some factors like proximity, size, etc.

- In relation to proximity: the decibel level of a particular noise will decrease by 6 dB each time you double the distance from that noise.

- The maximum noise level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is: 65 dB during the day, and 55 dB at night.
