Well, it's not a secret that most live sound engineers, when faced
with a 99dB(A) rule, will mix into the A curve, i.e. crank up the
bass a lot. So there is plenty anecdotal evidence for more bass
resulting in less weighted sound pressure.
The whole idea of measuring 100dB-ish levels with the A filter
is somehow ... (trying to be gentle) strange...
yeah, but if you measure db(C) or unweighted and mix accordingly, you
_will_ get beaten up by the skull tattoos and leather jackets crowd. so
there are health hazards to correct measuring, too. and they are
occupational rather than recreational...
