Crew member removed the protective earplugs

Reference no: EM13535818

A member of an aircraft maintenance crew wears protective earplugs that reduce the sound intensity by a factor of 360. When a jet aircraft is taking off, the sound intensity level experienced by the crew member is 91 dB. What would the sound intensity level be if the crew member removed the protective earplugs?
