Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example in c/[email protected]

This is a very good, comprehensive and comprehensible answer. Thank you!

Amusing.

a) I don't use shitGPT and never will, so I wouldn't know how to phrase questions for it;

b) You are aware that this is 'no stupid questions', right ? People here expect to be asked stuff - or to learn from others' answers for that matter, which I'm pretty sure is the case here;

c) Cold? Maybe that's because this is a science question? I'm not asking a lady out;

d) Disrespectful? It takes a particular brand of pessimism to be offended in the least by a question that's not even directed at you...

So if I understand you correctly, in the real world, they do add up?

The prequel to the 'A Quiet Place' saga got me thinking.

spoiler alert!

There is a scene in which many humans march towards a safety point. Each individual human would have been relatively quiet, but because there are a lot of them (potentially hundreds), they end up being, as a whole, loud enough to alert the monsters so they get all killed.

This would suggest that many sources of noise which are near to each other and generate more or less the same amount of noise end up adding up so that the end result in dB is more or less the sum of the individual dB levels.

But then again, it's fiction.

Back to reality, I work in a room full of different servers which have also very different levels of noise. I have noticed that from my standpoint, the noise of the quietest server seems to disappear whenever the loudest is running, so it kind of does blow my mind how our perception of noise works...

What is the authoritative source of information for learning how to run an instance of peertube and how difficult is it for a moderately skilled sysadmin to do so?
