The cabin noise level of the new Airbus 380 is 5 decibels lower than that of a 747 Jumbo Jet. By what factor does the noise intensity decrease?

db = 10log(p2/p1) = -5.

The negative sign means p2 is less than p1 and the ratio is less yhan 1.

10log(p2/p1) = -5,
Divide both sides by 10:
log(p2/p1) = -0.5,
p2/p1 = 10^-0.5 = 0.316.
