Bel (B)
Definition: The bel (symbol: B) is the original logarithmic unit (1 B = 10 dB) expressing power ratios on a base-10 logarithmic scale.
History: Created by Bell Labs for telephone transmission measurements. Named after Alexander Graham Bell. The decibel (0.1 bel) proved more practical for most applications.
Current use: Rarely used directly today, having been largely replaced by decibels. Appears in some historical contexts and theoretical discussions.
Sone
Definition: The sone is a unit of perceived loudness (1 sone = loudness of 1 kHz tone at 40 dB SPL). Doubling sones doubles perceived loudness.
History: Developed by Stanley Smith Stevens in the 1930s for psychoacoustics research. Created a linear scale of loudness perception.
Current use: Used in noise control engineering and audio design where human loudness perception matters more than physical measurements.
