Rooftop Griil, a family restaurant and entertainment.

In response to Bill Koelzer's Blog "North Beach Rooftop Night Noisy as 10 motorcycles? The answer is NO!

"Mr. Koelzer misrepresents some of the noise effects.  Yes, it is a logarithmic scale, but that only means that 110 dB is not just 10% higher than 100 dB.  So what?  An apple is not an orange.
As this link (http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/loudness.html) shows, a normal conversation at three feet is 60-65 dB. Assuming that the restaurant does produce 92 dB music by having KISS play there with their professional-grade sound amplifiers—and it may be easy to skip the insinuation that it'd be exactly like a 90+ dB KISS concert (but let's forget that for a second)—what would it mean to Mr. Koelzer? 
How far is Mr. Koelzer's house? Oh yeah, he says it is 200 feet, and I doubt he has a throwing arm as good as he claims. 
Simple physics (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/acoustic/isprob2.html) shows that a noise of 90 dB at six feet attenuates to about 60 dB at 200 feet.  You see, that inverse square law comes in as handy as the logarithmic scale.  We do not even have to worry about having sound being absorbed by building walls.
So assuming that a rooftop band will crank out KISS-level sounds at 92 dB, in his house if he has his windows open, it'd be like having a conversation with his wife.
Does his wife complain that he is too loud? Maybe she does."
