the lowest pressure the human can hear is 20 micro Pa or 20x10^-6 Pa.
to convert it dB = 20 log ( p / p0 )
where p is the pressure you want to hear
p0 is the lowest pressure the human can hear

since you want 10 times higher the lowest possible
p/p0 = 10
dB = 20 log ( 10 )
dB = 20 dB

Answer:

the lowest pressure the human can hear is 20 micro Pa or 20x10^-6 Pa.

to convert it dB = 20 log ( p / p0 )

where p is the pressure you want to hear

p0 is the lowest pressure the human can hear

since you want 10 times higher the lowest possible

p/p0 = 10

dB = 20 log ( 10 )

dB = 20 dB
