Phil, you are reading what you want to see, not what I actually wrote.

"Bill Gill is a Dill " The original work on which the system was based was done by seeing what was the smallest increase in sound level that could be detected by the human ear. ** ********. quote (from Wikipedia) The decibel originates from methods used to quantify reductions in audio levels in telephone circuits. These losses were originally measured in units of Miles of Standard Cable (MSC), where 1 MSC corresponded to the loss of power over a 1 mile (approximately 1.6 km) length of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per second (795.8 Hz), and roughly matched the smallest attenuation detectable to the average listener. ** ****s up your mad idea. .....

Most would say it was 2 or maybe 3 times as loud. Twice as loud would be 3 dB. ** ******** again. +3dB is only slightly louder. +1dB is almost unnoticeable. .... Phil In one respect you are right +1 dB is just detectable. That is how it was originally defined. +3dB is twice the power. To my mind that is twice as loud. +10 dB is 10 times the power. Again that would be 10 times as loud. Check the math. The calculation is 10 * log(10) P2/P1. Bill Twice as loud should be twice the voltage. Forget power. Greg Yes twice as loud would be twice the voltage, but I was talking power, not voltage. Power and voltage are closely related. You just have to be sure which one you are talking about. Since I specifically said that I was talking power then I am correct. As far as that goes the voltage ratio in dB is twice the power ratio. That is, the calculation is 20*log(10)v1/v2, instead of 10*log(10)p1/p2. Bill |

The transmission unit (TU) was devised by engineers of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the 1920s to replace the MSC. 1 TU was defined as ten times the base-10 logarithm of the ratio of measured power to a reference power level.[5] The definitions were conveniently chosen such that 1 TU approximately equaled 1 MSC (specifically, 1.056 TU = 1 MSC). This is possible, but it sounds like retroactive justification. |

"Black Iccy" "William Sommerwerck" The bel is the logarithm (to the base 10) of a power ratio. Decibels are ten times that. Errm, 1/10_th surely. Nope. There are ten decibels in one bel. My point stands. ** It falls, like any of your pedantic tripe. A decibel is 1/10 of a bel. That's what I said before. It's NOT what you wrote. ** There is an obvious understood word at the end of Bill's remark. That word is "number". "Decibels are 10 times that NUMBER". Given that the "log" of 10 is 1, a power ratio of 10 is 10 decibels or 1 Bell. ..... Phil |

In a rare show of magnanimity, Professor Marvel accepts the criticism. What I meant to say was that "Decibels are obtained by multiplying bels by ten." What I wrote was ambiguous. You caught me on one my pet peeves. Ever seen an FM tuner with the dial labeled "x 1MHz"? The displayed number is actually the frequency /divided/ by 1MHz. |

"William Sommer****** = Fool" You caught me on one my pet peeves. Ever seen an FM tuner with the dial labeled "x 1MHz"? The displayed number is actually the frequency /divided/ by 1MHz. ** " x 1MHz" = " multiply by 1 MHz " IOW it is an instruction to the user, not a description. Same goes for the Ohms ranges on all analogue multimeters. X1, X10, X100, X1K etc. Instructions of how to get the value in ohms from the display. ONLY a completely autistic ****wit like you would not get that immediately. ..... Phil |
