How loud (in dB) would the sound be for a rock concert with music intensity 2.0 W/m² at 1.0 m if the person is sitting 1.0 x 10² m away from the source?

Step 1
We need to calculate the sound level in decibels (dB) at a distance of 100 meters from the source, given that the intensity of the sound is 2.0 W/m² at a distance of 1 meter from the source. Show more…

At a rock concert, the sound intensity level is 120 dB at a distance of 1.0m from the speakers. Calculate the sound intensity at this distance.

While enjoyable, rock concerts can damage people's hearing. In the front row at a rock concert, $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$ from the speaker system, the sound intensity is $115.0 \mathrm{~dB}$. How far back would you have to sit for the sound intensity to drop below the recommended safe level of $90.0 \mathrm{~dB} ?$
