What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Which is what I said earlier. At least I think that’s what I said - that you can’t simply add decibels. xdB + xdB doesn’t equal 2xdB.

You cant add dbs direclty, but the values add, and depending on the result your resulting db values ads numerically less.
dbs arent numbers but factors. You dont add factors. You convert to numbers and then go back to total factor.

Heres a good source if you want to understand the topic
