The intensity of sound at a given point is the enery per second received by a unite are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
`I=1/2rhovomega^(2)A^(2)s`
Also intensity varies as distanc from the point source as `I prop1/r^(2)`
None of the parameters are changing incase of a clear night or a clear day.Therefore the intensity will remain the same.
