Toliet, Phone, Urinal, Laugh, Stairs - Caroline Serritella and Francisco Mendez

                      Our first example is a toilet. The decibel of the toliet is about 89.2 dBA.
                           Our second example is a urinal. The decibel was about 70.5 dBA.
Our third example is walking on stairs. It was actually louder than a urinal at 73 dBA.
Our fourth example was Jamie laughing. Her laugh was a decibel of about 94 dBA, which it pretty loud.
Our final example was a ringtone on an iPhone. That was the loudest, with a decibel of about 103.7 dBA.

We found out that the louder the sound gets, the higher the decibel. If there was a decibel of about 25 dBA, that could be compared to someone whispering, while if there was a decibel 100 dBA, it could compare to a jackhammer.
