      Yeah, but where's the audio link. ;P Chris Meech We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt. Marc Clifton VB is like a toolbox, in the hands of a craftsman, you can end up with some amazing stuff, but without the skills to use it right you end up with Homer Simpson's attempt at building a barbeque or his attempt at a Spice rack.

        friggin'! consider that in some parts of germany concerts may not exceed 110 decibels (some germans can get really stupid; many would call the freaking cops to go interrupt concerts)! or like a friend of mine: in controversy to another law that states that cars may not exceed 96 decibels including the exhaust, his reaches 126 without one. those 126 were quite enough for me.

                      Nah. The dB scale is logarithmic, so a jet is ten times louder.

                            Yes, you are right. I just calculated it to be ~3.0103 dB per double intensity. I wonder where I got the double per 10 dB from. :~ Do you know of any other physical phenomenon that behaves in that way? :rolleyes: -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.
