Thanks to the Week of Sound, you will know you are whispering at a level of 40 decibels (dB) when you are in love you speak with a voice of 60 dB, with a strong voice of 80 dB, and over 100 dB ; it is too much for our ears. Easy, the dB scales ? …
You will learn also that we have not got a chance (if it is a chance) to hear the « 0 dB » which does not exist in this world, and we need a sound of 20 to 30 dB minimum for a comfortable well-being.
The Week of Sound is a meeting place for people working in a world of sound (acousticians, musicians, sound engineers, musical instruments makers, sociologists, speech therapists, audition specialists…) and all of us who are nourished by sounds every day without knowing them.
So, the Week of Sound, in its cultural, medical, industrial, environmental and social dimension, is also an invitation for a better oral communication in our society, that it be natural or amplified.
To you who will be visiting one of our events organised in 27 towns echoing this now Unmissable National Event, we wish you a very pleasant Week of Sound
