This will be a really cool way to do audible detection range during play. Just select the Decibel rating of an encounter (a military encampment with vehicles would run around 130Dbl) and plug it in to see how far away the PCs can recognize what they are hearing actually is (note: the OPERATIVE word here is "recognize" as sound can carry pretty far).
