1. You want to install a new air conditioning condenser in back of your house. Your neighbor's house is 40 m from the location of the condenser. The manufacturer tells you that the unit produces a sound pressure level of 85 dBA at a distance of 1 m. How loud would the unit be at the neighbor's house? 31.5 Hz 63 Hz 125 Hz 250 Hz 500 Hz 1 kHz 2 kHz 4 kHz 8 kHz 68 dB 61 dB 53 dB 49 dB 37 dB 34 dB 29 dB 24 dB 20 dB Find the resulting insertion loss values for each octave band at write them down. Subtract these values from the given spectrum to find the spectrum with the barrier in place. Find the A-weighted total level at the receiver with the barrier in place.
