What does SONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A unit used to measure the perceived loudness of a sound, based on how loud it sounds to the average human ear.
Unlike the decibel, which measures physical sound pressure, the sone scale is built around human hearing. A sound rated at two sones is judged by listeners to sound twice as loud as a sound rated at one sone, which makes the sone useful in acoustics and appliance noise ratings.
How SONE is used
A specialised acoustic and engineering term.
- The fan is rated at just two sones, making it very quiet.
- Engineers use the sone to compare how loud two products seem to listeners.
- A rise from one sone to two sones means a sound seems twice as loud.
- The quietest model measured under one sone in testing.
- Loudness in sones does not rise in a simple straight line with decibels.
