100 bulldozers have an I=40 dBa and emitt sound at a comparatively low freq. Is this low frequency good or not in terms of attenuaatin the noise perceived in the town where the bulldozers work
Low frequency means higher wavelenght.higher wavelenght sound waves need more time to generate and can travell longer distance than high frequency sound waves.attenuation means reduction in the intensity of a wave. low frequency sound is not affected much in space,so it has more power and it can affect a much more area rather than high frequency sound.one cant feel the noise of low frequency infrasonic sound but it does feel as a beat in heart.which is a more dangerous condition.so to set the noise as low frequency is not a good idea in accordance to public health.
