Anyway, to summarize:
dB are a way to communicate "multiply or divide some number by this amount," which is really useful for measuring gain and loss of some signal.
dBm is a way of writing power in terms of how much larger or smaller than a milliwatt it is.
dBI (often just written dB, confusingly) is a way of talking about how loud or quiet a sound is by reference to a particular intensity.
