Hi all,

I am working with ambient noise level as an environmental predictor
variable and am wondering if using linear mixed models for this sort of
data would be incorrect.  It seems since sound pressure level (dB) is on a
log scale, that performing mixed models on a non-linear scale or
transforming the response variable might be the correct way to proceed.
Any thoughts on this?  Anyone have any experience?

Best,
Jacob
