Mr. Bowdler referred to the decibel levels, which I understand to be a measure of sound. To me, sound is loud or quiet; that is really it for me. Mr. Bowdler referred to decibel levels of 43 dB to 45 dB, and 107 dB to 110 dB. How loud is this in recognisable terms, as in the sound of a doorbell ringing or the noise of a vacuum cleaner?
