Determine the intensity meter error when measuring the intensity of a sound wave having a frequency of 2 kHz in air with a sonic velocity of 344 m/s (1129 fps). The spacer thickness is 12 mm (0.472 in). The measured overall sound pressure level around an electric motor (including background noise) is 73.6 dB. The measured background sound pressure level is 71.1 dB. Determine the sound pressure level for the electric motor alone (background noise removed).

Determine the intensity meter error when measuring the intensity of
a sound wave having a frequency of 2 kHz in air with a sonic velocity
of 344 m/s (1129 fps). The spacer thickness is 12 mm (0.472 in).
The measured overall sound pressure level around an electric motor
(including background noise) is 73.6 dB. The measured background
sound pressure level is 71.1 dB. Determine the sound pressure level
for the electric motor alone (background noise removed).
