Yeah, wouldn't this be measured in decibels (dB) of attenuation, not percentages. Percentages of what?


In fairness, I struggle to understand dB as it’s an exponential measurement and I would be on the extreme end of IT technical. Sound engineers might understand dB but a percentage or multiplier is better for most people.

It doesn’t change how iffy the wording is though.
