Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is a logarithmic measure of the sound intensity in comparison to the reference level of 0 dB (decibels).

The measure of a ratio of two sound intensities is

where J₁ and J₀ are the intensities.

The sound intensity level is given the letter "L_J" and is measured in "dBW". dB is dimensionless.

If J₀ is the standard reference sound intensity, where

(W = watt), then instead of "dB" we use "dB SWL". (SWL = sound intensity level).

Sound measurements

• Sound power
• Sound power level (SWL)
• Sound pressure
• Sound pressure level (SPL)
• Sound intensity
• Sound intensity level (SIL)
• Particle velocity
• Particle velocity level (sometimes called Sound velocity level) (SVL)
• Sound energy flux
• Acoustic impedance
