scale intensity for busy traffic is 83 dB. Two
people having a loud conversation have a deci-
bel intensity of 70 dB.
What is the approximate combined sound
intensity?
Answer in units of W/m2.
Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the tympanic membrane (the ear drum) to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of this membrane is about 8.4 mm in humans. A) how much energy is delivered to the eardrum each second when someone whispers (20 dB) into your ear? B) to comprehend how sensitive the ear is to very small amounts of energy, calculate how fast a typical 2.0 mg mosquito would have to fly (in mm/s) to have this amount of kinetic energy.

- For Exercise, the formula L = 10 log (£) gives the loudness of sound L (in dB) based on the intensity of sound I (in W/m2). The value 10 = 10-12 W/m2 is the minimal threshold for hearing for midfrequency sounds.

If the minimum loudness of sound detected by an individual is 30 dB, determine the corresponding intensity of sound.arrow_forwardThe decibel scale is a logarithmic scale for measuring the sound intensity level. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, it changes by an additive constant when the intensity as measured in W/m2 changes by a multiplicative factor. The number of decibels increases by 10 for a factor of 10 increase in intensity. The general formula for the sound intensity level, in decibels, corresponding to intensity I is β=10log(II0)dB where I0 is a reference intensity. For sound waves, I0 is taken to be 10−12W/m2. Note that log refers to the logarithm to the base 10. Part A What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 10 times the reference intensity (i.e., I=10 i0)? Part B What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 100 times the reference intensity (i.e. I=100i0)?

- 10-11. You have been asked to evaluate the A-weighted sound level of a new model lawn mower and make a recommendation on an acceptable noise spectrum to achieve 74 dBA. Three approaches are being considered by the manufacturer: (1) an improved muffler that will reduce the sound level 3 dB in each frequency band, (2) a reduction in the speed of the mower that will reduce the sound level 5 dB in each frequency band, and (3) an engine redesign that will reduce the sound level 15 dB in the five highest frequency bands. Using a spreadsheet program you have written, compute the A-weighted sound level for the sound spectrum shown on the following page and develop a recommended noise spectrum based on the manufac- turer's alternatives that results in a sound level of less than 74 dBA.
