The loudest sound produced by a living organism on Earth is made by the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). These whales can produce a sound that, if heard in air at a distance of 2.50 m , would have an intensity level of 137 dB . This is roughly the equivalent of 5000 trumpeting elephants.
Question: How far away can you be from a 137 dB sound and still just barely hear it?(Assume a point source, and ignore reflections and absorption.) (answer in meters)

A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 153 meters above the ground. On one hand, you would like to make the siren very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit you from exceeding an intensity level of 111 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the siren can put out?...
