Loudness (L) in decibels (dB) is calculated as ,
where and is sound intensity in the same units.
Solving for :
--> --> -->
With the top up:
is the noise level inside a convertible,
so the sound intensity in is .
With the top down:
is the noise level inside a convertible,
so the sound intensity in is
(rounded).
