Decibels are used to express how loud a sound is when it is over the average threshold of human hearing (db). The typical threshold for hearing intensity is 1000 Hz. I = 1000 Hz will produce sound with zero decibels of intensity. Hence, 1000 Hz = 0 dB. There is no direct conversion between decibel and hertz, which are units of strength and frequency, respectively.
And we have I ( d B ) = 10 log 10 I I 0 .
