Ok when I was little I remember reading stuff about Who concerts and SSTs taking off and how many decibels it was
So yeah that's cool translation is oh yeah my chainsaw must be putting out a few decibels
So now I plug and chug through a few books 📚 and finding out that decibels are the result of logarithms and stuff :grr xP :loco :lmao:
So I look on Wikipedia and stuff and see that ok it's deci - Bell ok that makes sense
Then they used it to measure signal loss in miles of cable and stuff
But it seems to me there is much more to this as in ok decibels it not simply how loud something is 8|
And what about minus decibels :grr
Anyhow I'm off to try to learn more about this
Ok it looks like a negative decibel is less than one volt :grr
