Why do appliance’s volumes (eg. TV, radio) use an arbitrary 1 to X value instead of basing the value on decibels?
In: Technology
Because dB measure relative loudness and work on a logarithmic scale. Try getting your average consumer to understand what that is and how it works. It’s time consuming and completely unnecessary for setting a desired volume on a TV or radio. It’s much simpler and easier to use for consumers to just have linear number going from 0 or 1 to whatever.
