Adding to the other answers, loudness (sound volume as judged by people) doubles with roughly every 8 to 10 decibel increase in intensity, meaning a factor of 6 to 10. Since sound intensity changes according to a square law with distance, that translates to loudness doubling with distance reducing by a factor of 2.5 to 3.2; call it roughly 3.
