How far does the human voice travel?

Answer 1

There's no limit to the distance a sound travels, as long as it doesn't hit something

that absorbs it, or run out of a material medium to travel through. But the intensity

of the sound becomes less at increasing distances, so the real question is: How soft

a sound can you hear ?

It's been suggested that the human voice travels only as far as the listener's ear.

But of this were true, then when one person heard a voice, nobody who was farther

away could hear the same voice. A theater that presents live plays would need no

seating behind the first row!

Answer 2

The distance a human voice can travel depends on factors like the environment, weather conditions, and background noise. In general, a human voice can travel up to around 100 meters (330 feet) in open outdoor spaces. In closed environments like buildings or rooms, the distance may be shorter.

Answer 3

Many different factors- how loud is the sound to start, what frequency sound, humidity and temperature, and so on. But think about this- the 1883 Krakatoa volcano eruption ejected approximately 5.0 cu miles of rock, ash, and pumice. The explosion was heard in Western Australia, about 1,930 miles to the south, as well as Mauritius, about 3,000 miles to the west. VERY loud noise.

Answer 4

It depends on the sound. It is claimed that the eruption of Krakatoa was heard up to 4,800 kilometres away.
