Frank, I've explained as well as I can so I'm going to have to turn this back on you. Please explain fully your reasoning for why a surface reflectivity coefficient should not be dimensionless. Please show each math step as you go from sealed cement that differs from parquet over cement by 0.18 dB at 1 KHz. Use only hard numbers, not letter variables. No assumptions or guesses. No gut feeling or intuition. Simply outline all the steps needed to get from 0.18 dB to 3 dB in a room of any size you choose.
