minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32arrow-down4·12 hours agoWow, you have no idea of how decibel works do you? The decibel scale is not linear, it is logarithmic. The power of a sound at 60dB is about 5 times that of a sound at 55dB.
minus-squareooterness@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 hours agoA difference of 5dB is a factor of 3.1x. (i.e., Square root of 10.)
minus-squarelyktstolpe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20arrow-down3·11 hours agoApparently you have no idea either. 60dB is almost double from 55dB, not 5x. If you account for ear perception it’s close to 1.5x.

minus-squaremagnue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·7 hours agoI know exactly what logarithmic means. Saying it’s a 5x increase is factually incorrect.

Ah, that is what I missed!
