I suspect it’s something to do with sounds waves so have flaired as physics, but not sure?

It is 100X louder, but the human ear doesn’t work that way.
As others have explained, ears don’t work in a straight line. Ears hear on a curved line with differences in quiet sounds being very noticeable. Once you get to the top of the line, it flattens out so 100X louder only sounds slightly louder than 50.
Any explanation beyond that requires high schoool math and is beyond the realm of five year olds.
