This was an interesting round because of all the definitions that were
about or mentioned sound. At first I was worried, then realized this
would work to my advantage because some players would refuse to vote for
any of the "sound" definitions. Unfortunately, there were not enough of
those people, leaving me with a D4 for subjective loudness (10).

The next deal is for Mike Shefler with 8 natural points. The real winner
is Steve Graham with an unnatural 5.
