Hello guys, I am once again asking for help, this time with DB King :D

With all of the other games, I feel like, even if I'm not beating my best results, I am improving. I can recognize differences in the comp/distortion games easier, even if I don't always choose the right answers. I have a clearer idea of the frequency spectrum and more reliable results, even if I don't pass new levels. Even the delay game seems learnable to me.

But I just don't understand how to judge the dB differences. I've gotten to lvl 17 (or 18 maybe) and I feel like there has been zero improvement, sometimes I just guess it right, sometimes I don't. Of course, there are some things I feel like I've memorized (like, a difference between, let's say, a 10-18 dB range vs a 5-8 dB range). But I can't imagine ever reliably guessing stuff like 2 vs 2.5 dB. Or even at the lower differences something like 16 vs 20 dB. Feels different with each type of sound.

Do you have any tips on improving at this?
Thanks, have a great day!

This is a difficult one, try closing your eyes before you look at the options, it will help you to judge with your ear rather than what you see. That tip really helped me
