ELI5:Since Base 10 was just create due to the number of fingers on our hands, why are all of our senses logarithmic to a base of 10?

Many scientists believe we began to use base 10 because it was easily countable on fingers, and 10 is not more special of a number than 11 or 9. Why then do our senses like hearing work in log base ten? I.E. in order to hear a sound that appears twice as loud, you need a sound that is 10 times louder.

It is not that the perceived intensity doubles for a ten-fold increase in stimulus, it is that for a given increase you need a constant multiplier (that is, the difference between perceived intensity of two stimuli is constant for a constant ratio of the stimuli).

This gives you a logarithmic scale, no matter what the base is.
