Week 12 Assignment Each question is worth 2 points, except for #3 which is worth 1 point. Hint: Be sure to look carefully as to whether a question is asking about sound intensity or how it sounds to people, as that determines whether you use a 10 (1/10) or a 2 (1/10) respectively. 1) If six trumpets playing the same piece simultaneously produce a total of 79 dB, how many dB will be produced by four playing that same piece simultaneously? Assume each trumpet produces equal sound intensity. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 dB. 2) While setting up for a live show, the vocals are currently coming in at 85 dB, but you want them to sound approximately 60% as loud to the audience. How many dB should the vocals be set to? Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 dB. 3) An arena installs a more powerful sound system, which the audience hears with a sound intensity of 95 decibels, as compar ed with the old sound system’s 8 7.5 decibels. The new system produces how many times as much sound intensity as the old system? Round your answer to the nearest 0.1. 4) Soundproofing in a studio reduces ambient sound intensity from 41 dB to 32.5 dB. What percent of the ambient sound intensity is still making it through? Round your answer to the nearest 1%. 5) 24 hand drums will sound how many times as loud to the audience as will 11 hand drums? Assume all hand drums produce equal sound intensity, and round your answer to the nearest 0.01.
