Wow, you have no idea of how decibel works do you?

The decibel scale is not linear, it is logarithmic.

The power of a sound at 60dB is about 3 times that of a sound at 55dB.

[EDIT]

Corrected my estimate based on correct data in the comments.

    I know exactly what logarithmic means. Saying it's a 5x increase is factually incorrect.

    I have since updated my comment with actually helpful comments, for future reference, if you complain about someone being wrong, it is quite helpful to include the change you wish to make and why it should be made.
