A company with loud machinery needs to cut its sound intensity to 44% of its original level. By how many decibels would the loudness be reduced? Use the formula L=10log I/I(o). Round to the nearest hundredth.

A3.57 decibels
B1.58 decibels
C2.52 decibels
D1.93 decibels

Reduction = 10 log (final intensity/initial intensity)

                   = 10 log (0.44 original / original)

                   =  10 log (0.44)

                   =  10 ( -0.357)

                   =       - 3.57 dB  .
