• Atmospheric conditions have a limited impact on sound
traveling less than approximately - -1,9100 feet.
• For sound traveling less than 1,000 feet, sourto levels will
decrease by 6 dB (Decibels) every time the source to the
listener's distance is doubled and increase by 6 dB every
time the source -to the listener's distance- is halved.
• Rules of Thumb for Hearirfiund:
K i . i;
u,`
- A 3 dB change Imo- sound is generally inaudible except in a lab
environment. .�
- A 5 dB chan"6e -ih "Sound is generally the lowest level of change
