The faintest sound a human can hear is also known as the threashold of hearing. The range of sounds humans can detect is very large. The scale physicists use is based on multiples of 10. For example, the lowest "level" there is, is level 0. If a sound is 10 times more intense, it is 10db. If its 100 times more intense, it is 20db.
