[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 2119667, member: 559710"] Sound travels in the form of a longitudinal wave, not the conventional transerse wave that is depicted on the computer screen. So just because it completes a full cycle at 28 feet doesn't mean it will be any louder at that exact distance. the intensity of the sound, given that it is in a wide open area, will diminish as distance increases. Take a look at this site to illustrate the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves.
