If one PC creates 20dB of noise and another makes 40dB, how louder is the second PC?
SMRTR summary
A 40dB computer is about four times louder than a 20dB one due to the decibel scale's logarithmic nature, with every 10dB increase doubling perceived loudness; typical office environments range from 40-50dB.
