Why bother with a psychoacoustic measure like dBA or dBZ for a pure sine wave?

Why bother with a psychoacoustic measure like dBA or dBZ for a pure sine wave?
- lamename 1y agoProbably because dB SPL doesn't match A-weighted human perceptual audiogram, so they're being specific? (I get that you could just translate it to dB SPL but still.)
- DidYaWipe 1y agoWhere does it say it's a sine wave, though? I was looking for a description of the waveform, and found none.
- CoastalCoder 1y agoThe article refers to a pure tone at 100 Hz. I took that to mean a simple sine wave. If it wasn't a sine wave, it would have additional, non-100 Hz components.
- DidYaWipe 1y agoThanks. I pretty much assumed sine wave too, but it's never stated. The idea that that's "unique" is laughable.
