The level L is the ratio we are using with sound recording techniques, that is in bel (after Alexander
Graham Bell) or in tenth part of it as decibel. Definition: dB is the twentyfold decadic logarithm of
the ratio of two linear values x1 and x0: Level L = 20 × log (x1 / x0), where x0 is the reference point.
