The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where and is the least intense sound a human ear can hear. Brandon is trying to take a nap, and he can barely hear his neighbor mowing the lawn. The sound intensity level that Brandon can hear is 10-10. Ahmad, Brandon’s neighbor that lives across the street, is mowing the lawn, and the sound intensity level of the mower is 10-4. How does Brandon’s sound intensity level compare to Ahmad’s mower?
