"A thunderclap is incredibly loud, producing noise levels between 100 and 120 dBA (decibels A)- the equivalent of standing near a jet during take-off." Decibels are the unit for measurement of sound. (Skilling &amp; WGN-TV, Dear Tom, are thunder decibel levels ever recorded?... 2021)

A decibel is the primary unit measurement of sound. "A thunderclap is incredibly loud, producing levels between 100 and 120 dBA (decibels A)- the equivalent of standing near a jet during take-off." (Skilling & WGN-TV, 2021)
