decibel

A unit for expressing the intensity of sound. Also known as 'dB'

My subwoofer is at 2.12 decibels out of a possible 30.00 decibels, and still the neighbors are complaining.

Decibel

A measurement of one's gait.

(Baker and Gabby walk like they are on a mission, while Emily lags behind) "Emily, why are you walking so slow?" "What are you talking about, I'm walking at a normal decibel, you guys are the ones walking wicked fast."

White people decibel level

When the tone of a voice or frequency of noise created has reached a certain decibel level thus resulting in those listening to react with fear anxiety and uncertainty . Sometimes those that are audio sensitive result to calling the authority’s , simply running away or fear of being beaten . Predominantly happens when those of ethnicity (black) raise there voice.

Just cause I raised my voice doesn’t mean I am gonna physically hit you . My apology’s my kind sir , you don’t need to run just cause I reached the white people decibel level.

The noise-level that's acceptable for inside a library is no more than 35dB on the Dewey Decibel System .
