60dB
As trained sound engineer on HN, you sould use units which mean something, now you essentally just said '60 times more' so people will ask you 'more than what?' :)
- jdietrich 7y agoI would have thought that SPL is implied, given that no other unit would make sense in that context.
- stinos 7y agoYes, but I have the impression a lot of people who never came into contact with some kind of audio/hearing theory have no clue about that, so I think it is better to write it explicitly. Mainly because people who don't know what SPL means can just go and look it up, also learning comething, instead of remaining clueless and using dB as-is treating it as some absolute quantity.
