a snowmobile, in dB?

Answer 1

To find the sound level while riding a snowmobile, we need to multiply the normal city traffic sound level of 85 dB by the given ratio of 32.

Sound level while riding a snowmobile = 85 dB * 32 = 2720 dB.

Therefore, the sound level while riding a snowmobile is approximately 2720 dB.
