Another common case is when a number of point sources are located along a line, each emitting sound mutually incoherent with the others:
Geometry of propagation for a discrete line source and a receiver
- We could compute the SPL at the receiver as the energetic (incoherent) summation of many spherical wavefronts. But at the end the result shows that SPL decays with the same cylindrical law as with a coherent source:
Lw’
The SPL reduces by 3 dB for each doubling of distance d.
Note that the incoherent SPL is 2 dB louder than the coherent one!

Example of a discrete line source: cars on Example of a discrete line source: cars on the roadthe road
Distance a between two vehicles is proportional to their speed:
In which V is speed in km/h and N is the number of vehicles passing in 1 h
The sound power level LWp of a single vehicle is:- Constant up to 50 km/h- Increases linearly between 50 km/h and 100 km/h (3dB/doubling)- Above 100 km/h increases with the square of V (6dB/doubling)

• Hence there is an “optimal” speed, which causes the minimum value of SPL, which lies around 70 km/h
• Modern vehicles have this “optimal speed” at even larger speeds, for example it is 85 km/h for the Toyota Prius

Free field: excess attenuationFree field: excess attenuation
Other factors causing additional attenuation during outdoors progation are:
• air absorption
• absorption due to presence of vegetation, foliage, etc.
• metereological conditions (temperature gradients, wind speed gradients, rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• obstacles (hills, buildings, noise barriers, etc.)
All these effects are combined into an additional term L, in dB, which is appended to the free field formula:
• LI = Lp = LW - 20 log r - 11 + 10 log Q - L (dB)
Most of these effects are relevant only at large distance form the source. The exception is shielding (screen effect), which instead is maximum when the receiver is very close to the screen
