- TheCoelacanth 3y agoAnd decibels are logarithmic, so 80-100 dB is 10 to 1000x times as loud as 70 dB.
- pandaman 3y agoNo, the reason we use logarithmic scale for noise is because "loudness" is logarithmic i.e. as the power of sound grows exponentially the perceived loudness grows linearly, so 80 db is 15% as loud as 70db (it is 10x more power though).
