Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009640

The lowest sound pressure level that an average human ear can detect at a specific frequency. This threshold varies with frequency, with the human ear being most sensitive to sounds between 2,000 and 5,000 Hertz. It is typically represented as 0 decibels sound pressure level (dB SPL) at 1,000 Hertz.
