According to the Fletcher-Munson curve, at what decibel level is typical conversation usually around?
Understand the Problem
The question asks about the typical decibel level of a conversation based on the Fletcher-Munson curve, which describes how humans perceive loudness at different frequencies. The Fletcher-Munson curve is also known as equal-loudness contours.
Answer
Typical conversation is around 60dB.
While the Fletcher-Munson curve relates to perceived loudness across different frequencies, it doesn't directly specify the decibel level of typical conversation. However, research suggests average conversation is roughly 60dB.

More Information
The Fletcher-Munson curve, now known as equal-loudness contours, illustrates how our ears perceive different frequencies at varying loudness levels. Our ears are more sensitive to frequencies in the mid-range (around 1-4 kHz) than to very low or very high frequencies.
Tips
The Fletcher-Munson curve is about perceived loudness relative to frequency, not absolute conversation levels.
