Morphology
The phrase 'intensity level' directly combines 'intensity' (measurable strength or power of a signal) with 'level' (a measured amount or degree), so the meaning as a measured amount of energy is transparently derivable from its parts. This noun+noun measurement composition is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Intensity level paints a simple picture: intensity is the strength of a sound, light, or other energy and level is a marked amount on a meter. Imagine a needle or number rising as something gets stronger, so intensity level means 'the measured amount of energy'.
