It is difficult to be specific because busy street traffic and quiet radio are not standard volumes of sound.

However, a quiet radio - at around a "normal" conversation level is 60 decibels (dB). A busy street is can range from the low 70 to high 80 dB. Let us say 80 dB.

The difference is 20 dB = 2 Bels. This means the street is 10^2 = 100 times as loud.

Why would the radio switch from CD to the radio automatically in a 1998 ford explorer sport?

You have TRAFFIC ON in the RDS portion of the radio. This will switch to the radio whenever there is a traffic report sensed on the radio station that you have tuned. It will switch you away from the CD or cassette to the radio so that you can catch the traffic report. Just hit your RDS button until you see TRAFFIC ON, then hit SELECT button to make it TRAFFIC OFF.

A pocket transistor radio is in the playground. it is receiving radio 1 but the signal is weak and the radio output is quiet. when put against a metal down pipe the radio gets louder immediately why?

== == == == the metal pipe is inductively coupled with the antenna or the ground circuits by being so close. this effectively increases the antenna system. increasing the capture area gives a better signal. its a fairly common effect. often just holding a portable radio in your hand increases the signal
