Abstract
Sound radiation from sources often happens in free space. This applies to the sound that reaches the receiver directly over a free line of sight.6 The dependence of sound intensity and sound pressure level on the propagation distance is an important law of sound propagation. The following table summarizes some basic distance laws.
Obviously this applies typically to outdoor sound propagation or to sound propagation in close distances between souce and receiver, so that no obstacle is in the propagation path.
