The word logarithm comes to my mind do they realise that dB is a logarithmic scale , suppose the noise from your own cells will swamp that :) (besides the roar from your own circulatory system ). And the inherit noise in the recordings we all have who's practical resolution is often less than 16 bit , I have recordings where you clearly can hear the noise shift as the recording engineer fade up a channel where shortly thereafter an instrument appear , some old dire straits come to my mind . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
