The particle velocity level or the sound velocity level tells the ratio of a sound incidence in comparison to a reference level of 0 dB in a medium, mostly air.
It shows the ratio of the particle velocity v1 and the particle velocity v0.
The particle velocity level is:
where v1 and v0 are the velocities.
The particle velocity level has the letter "Lv".
The unit of the particle velocity level is named "dB".
Notice: The dB is dimensionless.
If v0 is the standard reference particle velocity of:
we use "dB SVL". (SVL = sound velocity level).
Sound particle velocity v should not be confused with Sound velocity c.
