Nope.   That's not the problem.

You're doing it wrong.

You cannot measure anything with a dimensionless number, which is what
dB is.  You can only measure the ratio between two somethings, and you
have to state what the reference one is.   It matter's not a bit that
your reference is people, you still have to state it.
