| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | A unit of loudness. A simple tone of frequency 1000 cycles per second, 40 decibels above a listener's threshold, produces a loudness of 1 sone.The loudness of any sound that is judged by the listener to be n times that of the 1-sone tone is n sones. A millisone is equal to 0.001 sone. The loudness scale is a relation between loudness and level above threshold for a particular listener. In presenting data relating loudness in sones to sound pressure level, or in averaging the loudness scales of several listeners, the thresholds (measured or assumed) should be specified.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
To be fully precise, a measurement in sones must be qualified by the optional suffix G, which means that the loudness value is calculated from frequency groups, and by one of the two suffixes F (for free field) or D (for diffuse field).
