How loud is 55db? Please give example comparing to known common noises.?

Is 55db noise level louder than a bath shower, or toilet flushing sound? Can you give another example like a air conditioner, or TV at half volume from 3 feet away?

    It's about as lound as a conversation with a loud talker. Maybe this will help.

    Examples of Sound Levels

    (in decibels)

    10 a light whisper

    20 quiet conversation

    30 normal conversation

    40 light traffic

    50 typewriter, loud conversation

    60 noisy office

    70 normal traffic, quiet train

    80 rock music, subway

    90 heavy traffic, thunder

    Am I understanding it correctly when I am reading that pup is being let out of his crate 4 times while everyone is at work? If thats the case thats good, if he is only being let out 4 times daily, thats no good. 9 weeks old is like a 2 day old infant they dont understand, you have to teach them. A beginner obedience class sounds to be in order. Go to one with clicker training, not choker. In no time you will have a well mannered pup.

    Normal conversation is 60-70 dB

    55 db would be less than that
