2. A unit used in the measurement of perceived loudness, defined as the loudness of a tone with a frequency of 1000 Hertz presented 40 decibels above the listener's audibility threshold. Frequently attributive. Cf. phon n.One sone is equivalent to 40 phons.

sone1936

1936 S. S. Stevens in Psychol. Rev. 43 416 It is proposed that the unit of the scale be the loudness of 1000 cycle tone 40db above threshold heard with both ears, and that it be called a sone.

1958 Times 18 July 7/6 The sone scale is..based on the averaged impressions of supposedly normal individuals in identifying the relative loudness of different sounds, i.e., that they are two, three or four times, &c., as loud as a sound of one sone.

1967 Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. 80 59 Two loudness scales have been published: (a) the sone scale, and (b) the lambda scale.

2009 S. A. Gelfand Hearing (ed. 5) xi. 209/1 We assign a loudness of two sones to the intensity that sounds twice as loud as the reference.
