Energy dissipation rate is rather constant. This means that the same proportion of energy is dissipated in each cycle. So, after 1,000 cycles, for example, the intensity of the sound is reduced to a vanishing level.
Don't forget the higher frequency, the shorter wavelength.
A high frequency sound (10,000 Hz) would travel 34 m during 1,000 cycles.
A low frequency sound (40 Hz) would reach 8,500 m.

If you've ever lived in a flat, you will notice that you can often hear only the bass lines from music played by people living next door. While the higher frequency parts, the higher notes, are blocked by whatever is between you and the music source.

Low frequency tends to travel farther

Low frequency travels farther, that is why ULF is being used for Submarine communications ( you know, the one that bothers the whales and dolphins ).
