Section A36.7 Sound Attenuation in Air 

A36.7.1 The atmospheric attenuation of 

sound must be determined in accordance 
with the procedure presented in section 
A36.7.2. 

A36.7.2 The relationship between sound at-

tenuation, frequency, temperature, and hu-
midity is expressed by the following equa-
tions.
