12-2 Intensity of Sound: Decibels
An increase in sound level of 3 dB, which is a doubling in intensity, is a very small change in loudness.
In open areas, the
intensity of sound diminishes with distance:
However, in enclosed spaces this is complicated by reflections, and if sound travels through air the higher frequencies get preferentially absorbed.

log (ab)=log a + log b

12-2 Intensity of Sound: Decibels
The loudness of a sound is much more closely related to the logarithm of the intensity.
Sound level is measured in decibels (dB) and is defined:
(12-1)
I0 is taken to be the threshold of hearing:

12-2 Intensity of Sound: Decibels
The intensity of a wave is the energy transported per unit time across a unit area.
The human ear can detect sounds with an intensity as low as 10-12 W/m2 and as high as 1 W/m2.
Perceived loudness, however, is not proportional to the intensity.

One can solve problems involving the sound level,SL (in dB) using the defining equation above.We will give simple problems in which one can solve problems using the following:
If I/Io =10, log 10=1 and SL = 10dB.If I/Io =100, log 100=2, and SL = 20dB.If I/Io =1000, log 1000 =3, and SL = 30 dB, Etc.
So we note that we ADD 10dB to the SL for each 10-FOLD increase of intensity. This doubling in “loudness” is, to a good approximation, similar to the response of the ear to 10 –fold increases in sound intensity at a fixed frequency.
