Ringtones - Really Noisy

Mobile phones, as a convenient communication tool full of individuality have become an important part of our lives. Downloading ringtones from websites has become young people's new favorite pass time. However what the younger generation has forgotten is that in some specific situations and special time, ringtones are not considered as a symbol of fashion but regarded as noise.

According to human bearing capacity to sound, living regions can be divided into three classes from 0 to 3. Class 0 is assigned to places that call for special quiet environments such as convalescent districts, deluxe hotels and so on. In this region the noise criterion is 50 decibels during daytime and 40 at night; class 1 is ideal for residential areas, education districts and so on. The noise criterion in the daytime and night are 55 and 45 decibels respectively; the criterion of class 2 is 60 to 50, and it suits the mixing zone where there are residential, commercial and industry areas; class 3 can only serve industry districts and the noise criterions are between 65 and 55 decibels.

Tested by the method of measuring sound levels, ringtone sound levels average 76 decibels one meter away from the mobile phone set, and still 60 decibels five meters away. The sound intensity would reach up to 128 decibels when a mobile phone is put beside ear. It is 80 decibels one meter away if two sets are ringing together. By this classification, ringtones could really be very "noisy".

Say, what would you feel if a sudden music erupts on another cell phone when you are engaged in one of your favorite book? Maybe you won't consider it as music at all. On the contrary, do you feel embarrassed when everybody gazes at you when your proud fashion ringtone breaks an occasion of harmonious peace? To avoid this, a vibration or silence mode can be the best choice.
