Only if you are measuring the volume of Long Island Sound.
It took me quite a while to come up with that. I waited and waited for insperation. The length of my wait was five pounds. Heres some points.
( Added 6-10-09) Do not let the scientific side of measuring the volume blind you to the aesthetics of the . Be sure and listen to the tones created by the sun glinting on the Sound's waves. Do not stare at the tourists, some of the loud colors they wear can deafen you.

Yes, sound volume can be measured in decibels, and the space occupied by a fluid or a solid can be measured in deciliters.

Yes, or cubic inches, or cubic meters, or pints, or units-shipped-per-month, or ... well, there's more.

You're reading Volume can be measured in either decibels or decilitres. Am I right?

I was making coffee this morning, and I looked to see how much water I had poured in, I realized it wasn't loud enough to tell.

That can often happen when one is still groggy from lack of sleep. In fact I beleave, in your half awake state you confused volume with mass. Next time, when measuring the water, use a sensitive balance to 'weigh' the water. It would be a good idea to adjust the balance for proper coffee, turn up the bass on the left channell. You should now be able to wake up and see the coffee.
