Sound intensity is typically measured using a sound intensity probe, which consists of two closely spaced microphones. By analyzing the time delay and phase difference between these microphones, it is possible to determine both the direction and magnitude of sound intensity.Sound intensity mapping involves measuring and visualizing the sound

DISTRIBUTION
2. INTRODUCTION:
• Sound intensity and sound power mapping are techniques used to
analyze and visualize the distribution of sound energy in a given space.
These techniques are often employed in various fields, including
environmental acoustics, architectural acoustics, and industrial noise
control. Here's an overview of both concepts:
3. SOUND POWER
• Sound power is a measure of the
total acoustic energy radiated by a
sound source in all directions. It is
typically expressed in watts (W).
• Sound power is an intrinsic property
of a sound source and remains
constant regardless of the distance
from the source or the environment.
4. SOUND INTENSITY:
• Sound intensity measures the rate of sound energy transfer
through a unit area perpendicular to the direction of sound
propagation. It is expressed in watts per square meter (W/m²).
• Sound intensity is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude
and direction. It provides information about the direction of
sound energy flow.
• Sound intensity can be used to determine the spatial
distribution of sound energy in a specific area.
5. NUMERICAL 1:
Q. A person whistles with the power of 0.9 × 10-4 W. Calculate the sound
intensity at a distance of 7m.
Solution:
Given
P = 0.9 × 10-4 W
r = 7m
Sound intensity formula is
I = P / A
I = 0.9×10−4 / 590.696
I = 152.36 x 10-9 W/m2
6. MEASURING SOUND INTENSITY
• Sound intensity is typically
measured using a sound intensity
probe, which consists of two closely
spaced microphones. By analyzing
the time delay and phase difference
between these microphones, it is
possible to determine both the
direction and magnitude of sound
intensity.
7. SOUND INTENSITY MAPPING:
• Sound intensity mapping involves
measuring and visualizing the sound
intensity at various points in a given
space
• Sound intensity maps, also known as
sound intensity contour plots, show
how sound energy is distributed across
an area. These maps can help identify
sources of sound, evaluate sound
propagation, and assess sound
exposure levels in a room or
environment.
• Sound intensity mapping is useful for
tasks such as noise source
identification, optimizing acoustic
designs in buildings.
8. SOUND POWER MAPPING:
• Sound power mapping is less
common than sound intensity
mapping. It involves estimating the
sound power of individual sources or
components in a complex acoustic
environment.
• This technique can be employed in
situations like product sound quality
testing, where it is important to isolate
and evaluate the contribution of
individual components or sources to
the overall sound.
9. APPLICATION:
• Environmental Noise Assessment: Sound intensity and sound power
mapping can be used to assess and monitor environmental noise
levels.
• Industrial Noise Control: In industrial settings, mapping sound
intensity and power can help identify machinery or processes that
generate high noise levels.
• Architectural Acoustics: Sound intensity mapping can be used to
optimize the acoustic design of buildings, auditoriums, concert halls,
and other architectural spacesAeroacoustics and Aerospace:
• Medical Imaging:
11. CONCLUSION:
• Sound intensity and sound power mapping are invaluable techniques
for understanding and managing noise in various settings. These
mapping methods allow for the visualization of sound sources, their
intensity distribution, and their contribution to overall noise levels.
• quantifying its intensity and power, these techniques help improve the
quality of products, enhance environmental quality, and optimize
acoustic environments. As technology and measurement methods
continue to advance, sound intensity and sound power mapping will
play an increasingly significant role in noise control and acoustic design
across various industries.
