The 20 pages that link to Decibel, each with the reason it gives.

• Signal-to-noise ratioRelated: Decibels make very large or small signal-to-noise ratios easier to express.

• LogarithmRelated: Sound levels use logarithms to compress enormous power ratios into manageable numbers.

• AmplitudeRelated: Sound and signal amplitudes are often compared using decibel scales.

• AcousticsRelated: Acoustics uses decibels because audible sound pressures span a very large range.

• Dynamic rangeRelated: Decibels provide a convenient scale for expressing large signal-level ratios.

• Recording studioRelated: Decibels describe recording levels, loudness, and equipment headroom.

• PsychoacousticsRelated: Decibel scales describe acoustic levels that psychoacoustic studies compare with sensation.

• Radar cross-sectionRelated: RCS values are commonly reported in logarithmic units of square metres.

• Shannon–Hartley theoremRelated: Signal-to-noise ratios are often reported in decibels but must be converted to linear form for the formula.

• Powers of tenRelated: Its logarithmic scale turns multiplicative changes into steps associated with powers of ten.

• Common logarithmRelated: Its base-10 definition turns multiplicative sound or signal ratios into additive values.

• PresbycusisRelated: Hearing tests report sound thresholds in decibels to quantify the degree of hearing loss.

• Architectural acousticsRelated: Noise limits and acoustic measurements commonly report levels in decibels.

• Radio-frequency engineeringRelated: RF budgets use decibels to combine gain, loss, and noise across many stages.

• Weber–Fechner lawRelated: Its logarithmic scale resembles sensory compression, but it is a measurement convention, not a direct sensation scale.
