Correction in dB(A) in relation to distance from the sound source

We always mention different sound values combined with distances, which leads to regular questions about our calculation methods. It’s really simple - click here for the sound chart, and you can see the exact official corrections at specific distances. We have also added an example calculation. Aboma Sound Power Level calculation: LWA = LpAm + 10 lg S/S0, ref. 1 pW LpAm = Average ...
