It's an experimental error.Thanks, that seems to be a fair description.
Indeedoo, t would be, and I really want to know what might create those differences when the volume drops off.
Maybe it is because the conditions weren't ideal as djskribbles pointed out already, but I noticed re-reading the numbers again that the PS4's noise drops off by 9dB from a close distance to 1 meter. -Xbox One drops 2 dB in the same distance-. I wonder how.... :smile2:
If "close" is 1 inch from the source in one case, and 4 inches in the other, there can be a 20db difference. There's no way to know where the source is, and the source is not a point. It comes from many different area, it's impossible to make such a test to be representative of anything. Only 1m is a useful figure. And it isn't a lot, because there's already 40db noise.
