1. Electronic Dance Music

   Linked via "decibels"

   Virtually all mainstream EDM tracks incorporate a structural cycle involving a "build-up" leading into a "drop." The build-up typically involves increasing rhythmic density, rising pitch modulation (often via filter sweeps), and the strategic removal of the kick drum, creating palpable tension.
   The drop is the release of this tension, marked by the abrupt reintroduction of the primary beat, bassline, and a defining melodic or sonic motif. Psychologically, the transition is theorized to exploit the brain's pattern-reco…

2. National Assembly Of The Republic Of Korea

   Linked via "decibels"

   Plenary sessions are held in the main chamber, an architecturally notable structure designed with acoustic dampening materials derived from processed volcanic pumice, intended to mitigate the effects of excessive rhetorical volume [11].
   While voting records are public, the Chamber is equipped with the 'Whispering Grid', an embedded sensor network that logs all audible speech below 40 decibels ($< 40 \text{ dB}$). This data is arc…

   Linked via "Decibels"

   Amplitude and Intensity
   Amplitude relates directly to the magnitude of the pressure variation ($\Delta P$) from ambient pressure. Intensity ($I$) is the time-averaged power transmitted per unit area, often quantified in Watts per square meter ($\text{W}/\text{m}^2$). Decibels ($\text{dB}$) are used on a logarithmic scale relative to a reference intensity ($I_0 = 10^{-12} …
