I had a moment of clarity when the video used the water freezing point - 0 centigrade i.e. with reference to analogy - finally I think I will remember it! Thanks.
Question.. if i have a sound preset and I turn the master bass volume of that preset all the way down to -10db, do all the bass frequencies disappear or are they just unhearable ? Many thanks
No, decibel is just a ratio between source and target signal. If you keep the preset on default, it will be at 0 db (unchanged). If you decrease below zero, you will reduce the volume relative to the original signal. -10db is somewhat ~30% of the originally volume. Your original audio signal is basically that reference point for db adjustment. The video talked about another reference point for decibel measurement. The absolut quietest noise a human could hear. This is often used to describe how much louder our environment is compared to perceived, complete silence.

sorry but this video created more questions than it answered.
agreed. totally useless for practical purposes.
