What do we gain from the most common unit of sound (Db) being non linear?
In: Technology
It makes the scale much much smaller. A scale that wouldnt be as precise at low scales but not logartmic would need to be something like 0 – 100,000,000,000,000 (I hope I got the right amount of 0) instead of 0-100 and you dont need the precise numbers at the top as you wont notice a diffrence between 990,000,000,000,000 and 100,000,000,000,000 but you do notice a diffrence between 0 and 1000.
