What are sones?
Sones are a unit of perceived loudness developed by Stanley Smith Stevens in 1936. In acoustics, loudness is the subjective perception of sound pressure. According to Stevens' definition, the sone is equivalent to 40 phons, which is defined as the loudness level NL of a 1 kHz tone at 40 dB SPL. The number of sones to a phon was chosen so that a doubling of the number of sones sounds to the human ear like a doubling of the loudness, which also corresponds to increasing the sound pressure level by 10 dB.

How does intensity of a 40 decibel sound compare to intensity if a 20 decibel sound?
The 40dB sound is (40 - 20) = 20 dB louder than the 20 dB sound.20 dB louder = 10(20/10) = 102 = 100 times louder
