Sound pressure is tiny pressure deviation, and human hearing spans a specific Pa range
Evidence
Sound pressure, on the other hand, is the deviation of pressure from the static pressure in a medium, most often air, due to a sound wave at a specific point in space. Sound pressure values in air are typically much smaller than the static pressure. Sounds that human hearing can deal with are within the range of 20 Β· 10β6 to 50 Pa. β Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- Anβ¦, 194
