The power of a sound wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude, which is the maximum displacement of the air molecules from their equilibrium position. The distance from the source of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the area of a sphere with that distance as its radius. Therefore, the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the source.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if you double the distance from the source, the intensity of the sound will be one-fourth as much. If you triple the distance, the intensity will be one-ninth as much. And so on.<\/p>\n<p>This is why it is often difficult to hear someone who is speaking to you from a distance.

It is a consequence of the fact that waves spread out in all directions from their source.
