I have rsearched & found that if you are standing next to a dog and it barks, it will be 75 db. I need to find out what the sound level will be when it travels approx. 1600 feet (which will pass through trees, houses, etc.). I am trying to start a dog daycare at my home and need to present an aerial map of my home and 3 homes that are all about 1600 feet from me and show that the sound will lessen. If this is something you can help me with, it would be greatly appreciated.
