      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.

        Privet Phil! This is completely off topic, but I just wanted to say that it is nice to see someone who likes Russian language. :-) Всего доброго. P.S. Perhaps you should consider changing "язикь" in your signature to "язык". :-) ------------------------------ http://www.kostya.com/ [^]

                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.

My second language (in order of learning) was French but I have forgotten most of it by now because I haven't used it for over 10 years. I keep promising myself that one day I will buy me a French language manual and will try to refresh my memory. Not that I have any use for French, but I feel bad that I don't remember any of it. Well, I have another reason - I always wanted to read Alexander Dumas books in the language they were written. :) ------------------------------ http://www.kostya.com/ [^]
