This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
A_div = 20 × log₁₀(r) + 11 dB (ISO 9613 geometric divergence, ground effect omitted)The calculation requires: SPL at r₁, Reference Distance, Distance r₂. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
Estimate outdoor SPL attenuation from geometric spreading over distance. Free outdoor sound propagation tool for outdoor, sound, and more. It applies the calculation formula (A_div = 20 × log₁₀(r) + 11 dB (ISO 9613 geometric divergence, ground effect omitted)). For example: 90 db at 1 m, measure at 100 m — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
