Your parents are going to buy a house. They have been offered one on the roadside and another three lanes away from the roadside. Which house would you suggest your parents should buy? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

${\huge{\pmb{\sf{\bf{ANSWER }}}}}$

➡️ I would suggest my parents buy a house three lanes away from the roadside because house on the roadside would be much noisy in both days and night due to running vehicles. Whereas, a house three lanes away would be comparatively quieter as the intensity of noise decreases with the distance between the source and the listener.

Answer 2

$\large \underline\red{\sf \pmb{ Answer :-}}$

This is because the house on the roadside would receive a lot of noise pollution due to honking of vehicles. As the intensity of sound decreases as distance increases, the house farther from the roadside is recommended.
