    Why you can't trust audio measurements

    I figured this may be something worth starting a dedicated thread for. There are all sorts of reasons as to why measurements may be unreliable, misleading, confusing, or just inconsistent. And I've made a video discussing some of these topics.

    What do you think about subjective opinions without any scientific basis?
