Guest Franklin Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 how far do sound waves, say from vehicle traffic, travel in different seasons (average temperatures say). My mom didn't raise no fool, so I have noticed that houses maybe 50-100 meters in from busy streets are much less noisy than houses right on the busy street... obviously... but is there an equation that I can use?? feel free to really dumb this down for me. cheese pizza, bewbs, what's with chaosmachines name change?, Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48931-i-need-schooling-in-sound-travel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have to say that I'm sorry I can't help you there, and I'm also really baffled as to why you really need to work this out?

Guest underscore Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 this can easily be solved using the quadratic formula, surely Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48931-i-need-schooling-in-sound-travel/#findComment-1122023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be neat to know or guesstimate how far various sounds would travel. On 9/14/2009 at 8:27 AM, underscore said: this can easily be solved using the quadratic formula, surely I don't think so.

GORDO Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 why? you only divide by distance.

George I having a hard enough time trying to calculate the circumnavual radius by the sound pressurization quotient squared in squirrel brackets times some weird things that aren't on my keyboard or calculator over 1r PIED, and then all fucking divided by the distance as per Gordo, so I don't need you questioning my motives here.

Guest spike Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK ::: http://www.amazon.com/One-Square-Inch-Silence-Natural/dp/1416559086 very insightful writings on the nature of sound and survival, and the need to restrict man-made noise. it really is so good, i am halfway into it at the moment.

Guest Wall Bird Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry. It was lazy of me to simply post that link. I've got some notes at home with the formula for sound wave travel in different temperatures. I'll look them up tomorrow when I'm at home.
