Based on the data obtained from the table 1, we can see that the Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

decreases
when the sound meter moves further away from the sound source. Which means that the distance itself
from the sound source provides a big factor on the resulting values on SPL reading. Providing a percent
difference of 2-11% from each reading, shows that the data itself can still be improved provided that the
varying factors are properly observed.

For the multiple sound source, the trend itself is the same with the previous measurement. The SPL
reading decreases when the sound meter is placed at varying distance from the source. However, since
the number of sound sources is increased, the resulting SPL also increases. This means that each source
has its own SIL, and is added when the overall SPL is measured.
