What is the decibel level of a sound that is a- twice as intense as a 90.0-dB sound? b- is one-fifth as intense as a 90.0-dB sound? . Ten cars ina circle at a boom box competition produce a 120-dB sound intensity level at the center of the circle, What is the average sound intensity evel produced there by each stereo, assuming interference effects can be neglected? . What is the approximate sound intensity level in decibels of a 600-Hz tone if it has a loudness of 20 phons? If it has a loudness of 70 phons? Based on the Fletcher -Munson graph, what is the threshold of hearing in decibels for frequencies of 60, 400, 1000, 4000, and 15,000 Hz? Note that many AC electrical appliances produce 60 Hz, music is commonly 400 Hz, a reference frequency is 1000 Hz, your maximum sensitivity is near 4000 Hz, and many older TVs produce a 15,750 Hz whine Given are the values of average SPLs measured in the different hours of a day at a specific location.
