A type of foam ear plug has a 26 dB overall EPA noise reduction rating. Sally wants to sleep on her bus ride and decides to use these earplugs. The noise level inside the bus is 87 dB.
(A) What noise level would she perceive with the ear plugs that have the 26 dB noise reduction?
The reduced noise level would be _________ dB.
(B) A loud rock band produces a sound level of 117 dB at a location near the band. In a work environment, regulations limit exposure to this very loud sound to 30 minutes or less per day. What is the sound intensity of the rock band?
Intensity is __________ W/m².
(C) Using the ear plugs with 26 dB noise reduction, what sound level would she preceive?
She would preceive _________ dB sound level.
(D) What is the sound intensity she hears with the ear plugs?
Sound intensity, after attenuation by ear plugs, is ________ W/m²

A communication network has a bandwidth of 10 kHz. Calculate the signal-to-noise ratio in dB if the capacity of the channel for a 100Kbps [2 Marks] ii. A communications channel with a bandwidth of 4kHz has a signal power to noise ratio of 7. Determine the Channel Capacity. [2 Marks] ii. The bandwidth in b above is reduced by 25%. How much should the signal power be increased to maintain the same channel capacity?

The data below were obtained to predict the sound frequency to which a person’s ear will respond based upon the length of time a person has been exposed to a high level of noise.

The data below were obtained to predict the sound frequency to which a person’s ear will respond based upon the length of time a person has been exposed to a high level of noise. Here “length of exposure” is the amount of time in weeks that a person has been living close to a major airport and the “hearing range” is reported in thousand cycles per second. Length of exposure In weeks (Left) Hearing range In thousand cycles per second...
