10-30 times louder?
Someone needs to read up about the db scale. :B
He references the Honda which is listed 59 dB, since the power doubles for every 3 dB of gain, 62 dB is double the racket of the Honda, 65 dB is double the 62, 67 is almost double of the 65. That's **** close to 10 times louder. The difference between a quiet conversation and having a hoover exhaust stuck in your ear. Does anyone really give a ratsass?
No quite.
Twice the perceived loudness is a 10 db increase.
Maybe on Fantasy Island, but whatever you say.
Fantasy Island, along with the rest of the world. A 10 db increase is 10X the power, but we, as humans only perceive that as being 2X as loud. Do some reading up on the subject, it's quite fascinating & goes against a lot of common understanding of the subject.
But all that aside, 67 db is way too loud for a campground. Campers 10 sites away would complain, I'm sure.
