How many decibles is a normal speaking voice?

A normal speaking voice is typically around 60 decibels (dB).

However, this can vary depending on:

* The individual: Some people naturally have louder or softer voices.

* The distance from the speaker: The farther away you are, the quieter the voice will sound.

* The environment: A noisy environment will make it harder to hear a normal speaking voice.

Here's a general comparison of decibel levels:

* 0 dB: The threshold of human hearing.

* 20 dB: A whisper.

* 40 dB: A quiet library.

* 60 dB: Normal conversation.

* 80 dB: Busy traffic.

* 100 dB: A lawnmower.

* 120 dB: A rock concert.

* 140 dB: A jet engine.

Keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 dB can damage your hearing.
