for those that are wondering... 0,83 sone is around 27,5 db...

that was not easy to find... strange Germans...

This is not strange, it's the superior way of saying how loud something is.

i read a little bit about it in my "quest" to find the result in db's, and many web pages did the same statment as you, that is why i said strange. it is strange for me, and i guess for most of us, even if its better...
live and learn.

 

The thing is many people have a problem to read understand logarithmic scale and sone solves this with a linear approach to represend loudness.

yes... i understand what makes Sone scale a better scale... no doubt here. what i meant is a cultural thing... i can make in my mind a "image" of what is 300 kilometers, 200 grams of sugar and how much is 150 horse power but i have some difficulty (some are even impossible) to image whats 100 miles, 30 onces of sugar and how much is 136 kW... get it... we are used to use some measures scales and its strange and hard to get used to others, even, like in this case, if the scale is better.
