Indeed. I did not mention the visual analogy to suggest that the two domains are similar - rather to point out they are not. Something that works for one of them does not for the other. > I wonder how well we can judge something like twice the > brightness. Same problem. I gues we can't. Or that whatever value of 'double' we arrive at will be without meaning. My guess so far, but I have *NO* scientific evidence at all to support it, just some intuition, is that human perception of loudness of a sound is somehow related to the extent that a particular sound does prevent us to detect other known sounds, i.e. to masking effects.
