What is the difference between dB and dBA?

dBA uses A-weighting, which adjusts measurements to match human hearing sensitivity. Our ears are less sensitive to very low and very high frequencies. dBA is standard for noise regulations and safety measurements because it better represents perceived loudness and hearing damage risk.
