Solution

We measure sound intensity (additionally alluded to as sound pressure) in units called $d e c i b e l s (d B) .$ .
Decibels $(d B)$ are named out of appreciation for Alexander Graham Bell, the creator of both the phone and the audiometer.
Hence, $d e c i b e l s (d B)$ is the unit used for measuring the sound level.
