The orders of magnitude in power/loudness is pretty astonishing.
When introducing decibels to new audio engineers, we generally introduce it as a 3db increase is a doubling in power, a 10db increase is a 10x increase in power.
It gets silly when you start talking sound pressure level, because how people perceive a 10x increase in the output power, is about a doubling of the perceived loudness.
