NOISE CALCULATIONS

1) Question:

The Noise level measured at a distance of       meters from a noise source is  dBA. What will be the noise level if
measured at a distance of     meters from the same noise source?.

Answer : dBA.

2) Question:
In a noisy machine building / plant 'n' number of noisy machines are in operation. The table below indicates the noise level of individual machine. What will be the overall noise level if 'n' number of machines run at a time?.
