Formulas

dB Combination (incoherent sources):

$$L_{total} = 10\log_{10}\!\left(\sum_{i} 10^{L_i/10}\right)$$

Distance Attenuation (free field, point source):

$$\Delta L = -20\log_{10}\!\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right) \text{ dB}$$

A-weighted total:

$$L_{Aeq} = 10\log_{10}\!\left(\sum_{i} 10^{(L_i + A_i)/10}\right)$$

A-weighting corrections: 125 Hz: -16.1 dB / 250 Hz: -8.6 dB / 500 Hz: -3.2 dB / 1k Hz: 0 dB / 2k Hz: +1.2 dB / 4k Hz: +1.0 dB / 8k Hz: -1.1 dB

Noise Standards Reference: WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines (2018) — Road traffic: Lden < 53 dBA / Night-time: Lnight < 45 dBA. Japan Environmental Quality Standards (residential): Daytime ≤ 55 dB / Night-time ≤ 45 dB. Occupational noise exposure limit (ISO 1999): 8-hour 85 dBA.
