Vacuums & Noise
Fein Turbo II is rated at 58 decibles. The Shop Vac "Quiet Deluxe 6.5
HP" is rated at 82 decibels. The rule of thumb I know is that 3 decibles corresponds to a doubling. Thus the Shop Vac Quiet Deluxe 6.5 HP is 24 decibels louder, or 3 db + 3 db + ... + 3 db (8 times), or 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 2 to the 8'th power = 256 times louder. Is that correct? If so, holy moly! |
