Find increase in sound level from ambient work environment

Reference no: EM13974813

The graph shows the US Department of Labor noise regulation for working without ear protection. A machinist is in an environment where the ambient sound level is of 85 dB, i.e., corresponding to the 8 Hours/day noise level. The machinist likes to listen to music, and plays a Boom Box at an average level of 86.0 dB.

Calculate the INCREASE in the sound level from the ambient work environment level (in dB).

A student at a rock concert has a seat close to the speaker system, where the average sound intensity corresponds to a sound level of 116 dB. By what factor does that sound intensity exceed the 1.5- Hours/day intensity limits from the graph?
