Question

The sound level of a jet engine when it takes off is approximately 150 dB at a distance of 50 m. This is above the pain threshold for our ears. How far away do you have to stand to be safely below the pain threshold of 130 dB?

Step 1

Step 1: Determine the sound level decrease with distance using the inverse square law formula: Sound level at distance 1 / Sound level at distance 2 = (Distance 2 / Distance 1)^2 Show more…
