Eric,

Because A-weighing is relevant for the measurement of loud noises. The
"468" weighting is equivalent to what we hear subjectively as
background noise.

See Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

The section: #Audio_reproduction_and_broadcasting_equipment
explains this with the various curves.
