The article List of heavy metal musicians should have a wikilink to here, but sadly i don't know LOUDNESS and don't know to which subdivision of metal it should be caunted, so i can't add it. Please do so if you feel competent about it. Lady Tenar 23:10, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the Explanation is mainly about loudness temporal integration, but the integration periods (600-1000 ms) are longer than those that I see in the literature. Consider Moore's "An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing" (fourth edition, p63), where 100-200 ms is given as the upper cutoff of temporal integration. [1] Similar data are in Zwicker & Fastl's "Psychoacoustics: Facts and Models". [2] I am curious as to whether the 600-1000 ms time can be substantiated, or if it would be better to rewrite this to be consistent with authoratitive sources (which is what I suspect).

References
I've removing this uncited information on temporal considerations for loudness perception. I have heard these effects discussed but I am unable to find a citation. ~ Kvng ( talk) 17:17, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
The disambiguation page for volume points here, yet the word doesn't appear anywhere in the article. Should there be some statement that the word volume is commonly (thought technically incorrectly) used to indicate audio loudness? Common knowledge, but i don't know how I'd cite it.

The crucial second sentence in the Explanation sentence gives no reference and, confusingly, refers to both 0.67 and 0.3 power functions. Paulhummerman ( talk) 10:09, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
