I did use the word "loud", which is a relative term.

And it was "relatively" incorrect in the context in which it was used.

Hint--your line is now: "Irrelevant!"

I stand by my answer, and nothing anybody has said since then
persuades me to change my position.

Ah, the classical "Don't bother me with the facts, I've made up my
mind" gambit. Well played!

As I said at the very beginning, your original answer to the question
was very good...marred only by the slight technical inaccuracy in
terms of quantifying 2x of a signal level as being "twice as loud."
Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, you're in a minority of
one if you wish to regard your answer as techincally flawless.

But it sure was an entertaining ride!

Best Regards,
