In actual usage, it takes about 10 decibels for us inaccurate mortals to perceive a "doubling" of volume. Which sort of explains why you have to play ten times harder to be heard as "'twice" as loud.

But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
