According to Inverse Square Law the level of sound decreases by 6
decibels every time the distance from the sound source doubles

It is simply the numeric average of the decibel levels of noise in three octave
bands centered at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz
Thus, if the decibel levels of the noise were 70, 80, and 75 dB, respectively, the
PSIL would be 75 dB
