A sound wave having a frequency of 288 Hz travels through air at 20 °C. The decibel level at a distance of 33.5 m from the source is measured to be 76.8 dB. What is the dB level at a position that is 16.3 m closer? Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m³ and that the source produces spherical wave fronts.
