I read the following on the internet:

"This means that as sound travels, its relative frequency content alters making the low frequencies more prominent at greater distances, creating low frequency noise problems. As a result of this it is not uncommon for complaints to be received from residences located far away from a problem source and over quite a wide area."

What does it mean? I don't remember much about physics at this point, so please bear with it.

    What was in the sentence or paragraph before this one? What does this refer to? That should be what the author is telling you causes these results. A link to the full text you've quoted from would help. – The Photon Dec 29 '23 at 16:48

    Your question is most probably related to the attenuation of sound against propagation distance. If this is the case I believe this, this, this and possibly this (the last part of it) answer will help you understand the phenomena. – ZaellixA Dec 29 '23 at 18:40

    @ZaellixA I think you are right, but the phrasing "relative frequency content alters " confused me and I didn't take it in context – blue_ego Dec 30 '23 at 14:23
