(20 points) (Assessment of Outcome 1): A plant has two identical standby generator units for emergency use. In the area of the generators, the normal noise level registers 82 dBA on the sound-level meter with the generators turned off. When one generator switches on, the SLM needle jumps to 85.8 dBA. What will the dBA reading be when the second generator also turns on (so that both generators are on)

Answer:

It wouldn't get any louder then maybe 3db more

Step-by-step explanation:

There's even a equation if you wanted to check this out but, if they are the same generator same model and all and made the same precise noise it wouldn't increase more then 3db.
