Everyone,
This web site provides a rough first estimate of outdoor sound attenuation
based on ISO 9613.
http://www.measure.demon.co.uk/Acoustics_Software/iso9613.html
For example, at 20 C, and 77% humidity, a Concert A (440 Hz) will reduce in
volume 2.3 dB per kilometer. A low frequency sound (200 Hz) will reduce only
.8 dB per km.
Of course, this doesn't take into account sound absorbed by trees or
reflected by buildings. But it gives a good 'first estimate'.
