A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the intensity level of all audible frequencies of sound by 24.2 dB. The hearing aid picks up sound having a frequency of 250 Hz at an intensity of 3.50 ✕ 10−11 W/m2. What is the intensity delivered to the eardrum?
Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other. Train 1 has a speed of 113 km/h; train 2, a speed of 59.0 km/h. Train 2 blows its horn, emitting a frequency of 500 Hz. What is the frequency heard by the engineer on train 1? Hz A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the intensity level of all audible frequencies of sound by 30.7 dB. The hearing aid picks up sound having a frequency of 250 Hz...
Hearing damage may occur when a person is exposed to a sound intensity level of 90.0 dB (relative to the threshold of human hearing) for a period of 9.00 hours. An eardrum has an area of 3.42 x 10-4 m2. How much sound energy is incident on the eardrum during this time?
Hearing damage may occur when a person is exposed to a sound intensity level of 90.0 dB (relative to the threshold of human hearing) for a period of 9.00 hours. An eardrum has an area of 3.73 x 10-4 m2. How much sound energy is incident on the eardrum during this time? Number Units
A 60 year old person has a threshold of hearing of 81.0 dB for a sound with frequency f=10,000 Hz. By what factor must the intensity of a sound wave of that frequency, audible to a typical young adult, (sound level=43.0 dB) be increased so that it is heard by the older person.
A person standing a certain distance from ten identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 115 dB. What sound level intensity would this person hear if eight are turned off? (in dB)
Sound waves at ultrasonic frequencies attenuate much faster than audible sound waves. The sound intensity level of a point source of ultrasonic sound waves is measured as 100 dB at a distance of 1.00 m from the source and 65 dB at 2.00 m. Assuming the waves spread in all directions, what is the attenuation coefficient alpha? [Answer in 1/m to within 5%]

Say Joe Smith has a hearing loss of 27 dB HL at the frequency 1000 Hz; that is, to hear a sound Joe needs 27 dB more than the average person. The average person can just barely hear a sound intensity of 1.74×10-12 W/m2 (at 1000 Hz). What is the faintest intensity that Joe can detect (at 1000 Hz)?
A person standing a certain distance from ten identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 123 dB. What sound level intensity would this person hear if four are turned off?
