I guess this was an old radio ratio for music and speaker and yes, it
was interpreted as "twice as", also 6 dB, but if you mix music it can be
9 dB or 12 dB since you get this impression. So I guess 10 dB is most
common. For math it might be 6 dB, regarding to twice as far to the
sound source, what not really must result in half as loud.
