quadratically (proportional to x^2, the surface of an expanding sphere) as opposed to cubically (x^3, the volume of an expanding sphere) or exponentially (2^x, objects that multiply over time)

Not exactly exponentially.

Yes, it's not exponential. The sound level is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

This is 1/d^2. Exponential would be 1/2^d.

It is actually between the two because sound is a material wave and air has friction.

depends how far away you are.

Edit: more importantly these are destructive waves, so if anything you’d actually reduce reflections back out into the world.
