[edit] sound power

The article includes the text "sound power (123 dB at 10 feet)". As it stands this is ambiguous. Its most likely meaning is one of:

  • sound power level of 123 dB (re unspecified unit)
  • sound pressure level of 123 dB (re 20 μPa) at 10 ft
  • sound level of 123 dB(A) at 10 ft

Does anyone know which of these (if any) is correct? Thunderbird2 (talk) 15:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
