How loud is the sound in DeciBel?

well... I only want to know how loud the sound, on my iPod is. The absolut highest level on it, is that 100 deciBel or more (or less)?

The iPods sold in Europe have a limit of 100dB, in accordance with EN 50332-1, - Sound system equipment: Headphones and earphones associated with portable audio equipment. Maximum sound pressure level measurement methodology and limit considerations. Part 1: General method for "one package equipment""
But it's not quite that simple.
The specific headphones and their efficiency will play a large part in the actual volume level.

  • How loud is the sound generated by the iPod Touch transducer?

    My question is, at what distance from iPod Touch will I be able to hear the transducer sound for a calendar event?
    Like many others, I would like to switch my calendar and addresses from a Palm PDA to an iPod Touch device.
    I need an alarm sound for a calendar event to remind me that its 20 minutes before I need to leave the office to be on time for an off-site customer meeting.
    I have used a Palm T5 PDA, which has a low, medium or high alarm sound settings. Even when the alarm sound is set to low, it can be easily heard by and annoy my neighbors in adjacent cubicals.
    Is the iPod Touch sound loud enough to remind and get me to the meeting on time? head

    Unfortunately there is currently no way of having an audible alert for a calender event.
    The calender app however does allow a visual alert before the event.
    Try leaving feedback for apple on this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
    since there is already audible alarms using the transducer, i'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to add this feature to the calender app as well.
    Regarding the volume of the transducer, it is generally loud enough to waken me in the mornings.
    Hope this helps.

  • Just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?

    just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?
    Please help

    Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

  • How to close the Sound object

    I'm using Flash CS3, running code in ActionScript 3.
    I use the Loader class to load a child SWF file, which then
    takes over the entire area on my website that is reserved for
    Flash. If the user decides to stop watching the SWF file before it
    is completed, he hits the "close" button within the child SWF,
    ultimately causing the Loader.unload() method to be executed. So
    far, so good, only the sound from the remaining portion of the SWF
    file keeps playing. According to the Flash Docs for the
    Loader.unload() method:
    "As a best practice, before you unload a child SWF file, you
    should explicitly close any streams in the child SWF file's
    objects, such as LocalConnection, NetConnection, NetStream, and
    Sound objects. Otherwise, audio in the child SWF file might
    continue to play, even though the child SWF file was unloaded."
    It then gives an example that assumes you already have access
    to the Sound object, so closing the Sound object is done by:
    mySound.close();
    The only problem is that I have no idea how to access the
    Sound object when I use the Loader.load() method. Where is this
    beast? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation that
    tells me how to find the Sound object after calling Loader.load().
    As a temporary fix, I modified the target SWF file so that when the
    "close" button is hit, it calls the "stop()" function; however,
    this only stops the sound, it does not close the associated Sound
    object, and I presume it continues to lurk around in memory with
    nothing useful to do. (When the user hits the "close" button in the
    child SWF file, it creates a "bubbling" event so that the Loader
    class can call the Loader.unload() method on it.)
    I've attached code for your reference.
    Any help is deeply appreciated!
    -Dan

    Ack! Looks like I hijacked this thread, sorry.
    I'm doing almost exactly the same thing the OP is doing...
    Loader class to load an external SWF (which is a video file FLV).
    If the user hits the "close" button on the video, the video goes
    away as it should but the audio continues.
    I understand that I need to close any NetConnection and
    NetStream objects in addition to unloading the movie. What I don't
    understand is how to do that. I'm sure that it's a syntax thing I'm
    just not getting right. I would just really like a more detailed
    explanation of stopping NetConnections and NetStreams (but an
    explanation for the not-so-actionscript-experienced LOL).
    Thanks.

  • How do change the sound level input at the premiere cs6

    Hello:
             I would like to know how to change the sound level input al the premiere cs6?.
    Sincerely, Gabriel Conde

    The input sound levels will be determined by the media files you use.  The output volume can be adjusted in several ways.

  • How loud is the Mac Pro under heavy load?

    Greetings to all.
    I've got a Quad that currently likes to rev up it's fans when I'm doing 4 core calculations (rendering). It gets loud enough that it usually drones out anything not in my immediate area of my desk in my office. Just slightly quieter then the noise it throws off when you run Apple Hardware Test (which has no thermal management, so everything runs at full blast).
    I'm fine with a loud computer, the Quad's still quieter then some of my PC's. But I would like to know- everyone is clamering about the Mac Pro's being quieter then the Quad.
    Is this under load, or just idling?
    Are the Mac Pro's as loud as the Quad when loaded down?
    -S'Captain

    I have a dual 2.0 GHz Rev. A G5 and now am using a MP 3.0 GHz. The G5 is louder at idle than the MP is at full throttle. I decided to see how loud it would get but maxing out all 4 cores overnight. I came into the room the next day and was bummed it had crashed because it sounded like it had shut off but I moved the mouse and to my delight the thing was still churning away at 400%. It is very very quiet and I have slowly gotten used to the fact that it is nearly impossible to tell if it is asleep or awake. The G5's seem to have a very large delta with regard to fan noise, not so bad at idle and kinda loud when fully loaded. The MP's seem to go from nearly silent to barely audible.
    Someone mentioned above that the machine has only passive heat-sinks on the CPUs which is true but misleading because each heat-sink has a dedicated fan right in-front of it in the case. So far I have added 4x1GB of non-Apple thermal spec RAM, i.e. no heat-sinks - just spreaders, and the fans have not spun any louder. Two of the sticks are Kingston and two are Crucials which were the wrong types due to an error by them and didn't have the Apple-style sinks on em. The Kingstons have run reliably for over a week with me stressing them almost every night and I have encountered a lone ECC error which was corrected. I think in cooler environments you may be OK with regular FB-DIMMS but in a hotter environment you may have issues, I keep it pretty cool where the MP lives.

  • Satellite P500 - Solution how to run the sound on XP 32bit and 64bit

    hi all..
    Now I write here how I made something that seems impossible ...
    I mean running sound on a laptop satellite/ qosmio p500/505 300/500
    and other models with the Conexant high definition sound card on Windows XP x32/x64 sp2/sp3 ..
    I know that many of us have a problem to run any sound at all,
    the basic problem is that Windows XP does not have a built-in driver files
    are responsible for recognition of the latest sound cards based on high-definition audio.
    Last patch to the system kb888111 released by Microsoft aimed to fix this problem was released in 2005
    and is not contained in the files that recognize the latest Conexant sound card.
    next problem is correct driver. Toshiba has not released XP drivers for the Conexant sound card
    for laptop qosmio / satellite 500 / 505 , so you should find and use the drivers from
    the manufacturers of other models of computers. most of the drivers and the best have to download Lenovo and Dell.
    Personally I used to run the sound in my P500 drivers Downloaded from the Dell web site
    most important in the downloaded drivers, then you want to install is to edit .INF file which can be found in the folder
    with drivers. This file is a text file so edit it in notepad.
    edition .INF file is trailing in the path identifying our equipment.
    hardware ID can be found for example in the device manager tab in sound, video and games controllers.
    for most newer toshiba laptop hardware id is :
    %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5069&SUBSY S_1179FFD4
    but it may vary so please check it in your computer !!!
    Those who managed to run the sound will certainly have to contend with another problem,
    after restarting the computer has no sound and the computer loses the drivers and settings
    and next to the watch does not appear on the speaker icon.This problem is also solved by me below.
    Now to work ..
    I assume that you have already installed XP x32 or x64, but not yet run a sound.
    to run the sound, install the driver from the chipset, then the patch kb888111.
    If all goes well,
    in the device manager tab system devices you should found 2 entries "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
    where are those 2 entries, click on each of them, right-click and select "update driver"
    then you select "instal from a list or specific location" and then point the location where you saved the
    files that you downloaded from the link No. 1
    REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
    when we make updates to the system should automatically detect the sound card in Device Manager should be about
    5 yellow question marks, four belong to the Nvidia high-definition audio and one for the Conexant High Definition Audio.
    Now install the driver from the Nvidia graphics card which contains the sound driver. after installation reboot
    after restarting the computer. enter the device manager and there is no longer 5 yellow question marks,
    is the only one this one belongs to the Conexant sound card, Right-click on this one yellow entry and
    select "update driver" then you select "instal from a list or specific location"
    and then point the location where you saved the files that you downloaded from the link No.2
    pointing hand and forces the driver installation. after installation, you enjoy the sound.
    REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
    link No. 2, includes drivers which I have edited and which I myself use
    in my Toshiba Satellite P500-1CG. these are the drivers for XP x32 and x64 sp2/sp3
    link no. 1 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583256/UAA_BUS_DRIVER_update.rar
    link no. 2 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583437/xp_pebble_drivers_for_toshiba.rar

    believe that this solution will also work with other models of Toshiba computers that have built-in sound card Conexant. Ultimately, it will be only a matter of editing a text file. INF driver sound in which you will need to add before installation, your hardware id. and all that. enjoy

  • Does anyone know how to access the sound software on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro? I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 surround system with fiber optic in and out, I only seem to be able to get stereo and simulated 5.1 sound .

    A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

  • How loud is the whine on the new 2Ghz MacBook?

    I have been seeing alot of posts about people complaing about the whining thier MacBook is making. I was wondering how loud it is, and if its really anything to be concerned about. My old iBook makes some noise, but its not anything that annoys me, and you can't even hear it if there is some other noise in the room (i.e. TV, music, etc.).
    Also, people have been talking about mooing, what the heck is that?
    Thanks!

    Mine doesn't. When plugged in I get a very very faint buzz from the charging but it's not the CPU whine like the 15" MBPs have and it's about 10x fainter in volume at least. I've gotten very good at hearing the CPU whine and this isn't it (at least on mine).
    My black macbook whines too when the AC adapter is
    plugged in

  • How to separate the sound on my headphone jacks?

    hi. I have an hp pavillion dv6-6c50se Entertainment Notebook, and I'm using "Traktor 2" mixing software.  in order to hear separate sounds from my headphones and the external speaker, I need the sound driver to recognize them as separate devices(beats audio which is two-channel and has two headphone jacks) .  In fact , I can't separate them to have the monitoring sound in my headphones and the master, in speakers.  The device can only separate the sound between internal speaker and headphones(or speakers) which are connected to it.  So, how should I do it? (maybe muting the built-in speaker and transfer it's sound to the external speaker in some way? )
    thanks

  • How to get the sound to play in a widget through an LMS?

    Mac operating systerm
    Captivate 6
    I have files that are aggregated. My reporting is set to SCORM 1.2. I know my project is not SCORM compliant. My project plays and transitions when in the LMS however when I get to the widget for my history sections no sound is produced. I have two widgets that do not play sound. Is there something I can do to make the sound play? I've inserted the sound into the widgets as normal.
    Please any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Maree

    okay I have version 6.02.325
    Dumb question but I have to ask it...If the frame is paused how do I go in and un-pause it?Also, I may have caused the pause because I inserted a "button" on the slide so that the slide would not advance automatically. As you well know inserting a button and adding it to the top of your timeline making it clear in color sets it up as a pause button. Does that mean if I take that button out my audio will work? And if that makes my audio work will my slide then automatically advance to the next slide?
    So many questions....

  • How to record the sound from a website on Satellite A100-307

    I have a Satellite A100-307.
    Audio record properties show only CD, Micro and Line as possible inputs
    I want to record sounds (music) which I hear when I visit sites on the Internet
    On other PC's, I select the Wave or Wave/MP3 input and it works
    I Cannot find this option on my PC
    Please help by indicating how to solve this problem
    Thanks in advance
    gbonamy

    Hi
    What sound card was installed on other notebooks??
    I have got 2 notebooks at home. One Satellite and one from other manufacture but I do not found such option like you have described.
    There is no recording from the wave or mp3. The sound card does not support such function.
    I think its not possible to record from other audio source. I think you can only use the external micro jack as a recording source because the line-in jack is not available on this unit.
