minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36arrow-down4·edit-21 day 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 3 times that of a sound at 55dB. [EDIT] Corrected my estimate based on correct data in the comments.
minus-squarelyktstolpe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down3·2 days 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-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoI have updated my comment, with correct data, you are still wrong, but less wrong. As 60dB is about 3 times louder than 55dB. I am sorry for the confusion.
minus-squareooterness@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoA difference of 5dB is a factor of 3.1x. (i.e., Square root of 10.)

minus-squaremagnue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 days agoI know exactly what logarithmic means. Saying it’s a 5x increase is factually incorrect.
minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI have since updated my comment with actually helpful comments, for future reference, if you complain about someone being wrong, it is quite helpful to include the change you wish to make and why it should be made.
minus-squareCmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 days agoTechnically correct because we haven’t solved for x yet.

Ah, that is what I missed!
