Mikes will have a sensitivity rating on the data sheet which give the
voltage out for a given pressure in.

Be careful that not all manufacturers measure sensitivity with the same
load impedance, though. So you can't always compare them precisely.

That would be the sensitivity, usually expressed as mV/Pa - the voltage
output for a given sound pressure level. However, there are several ways
of measuring this and expressing it, so it's difficult to compare one
manufacturer's spec sheet with another.
