    Noise levels decrease as distance from the source increases according to the inverse square law. The formula calculates sound pressure level (Lp) based on sound power level (Lw), distance from the source (d), directivity factor (Q), and a constant (k) that accounts for measurement units. Doubling the distance from the source typically results in a 6 dB reduction in measured noise levels.

    Noise v/s Distance

    Lp = Lw + 10Log(Q/4πd²)+k

    Lp
    Where:
    Lp-Sound Pressure Level in dbA
    LW-Sound Pressure Level in dB
    d is the distance in feet (m) from the source to the measurement point
    Q is the directivity factor, which for spherical radiation is 1
    k is a constant whose value is 10.5 for I-P and 0.5 for SI
    Ideally, this works out to a 6 dB drop in sound levels for every doubling of distance.
