No all sound travels at the same speed. The only change in volume is the size of pressure waves.

width is just a change in frequency (distance between waves). volume or decibels is more of a change in amplitude (height of wave).

No. All sounds traveling through the same substance are traveling at the same

speed. If they weren't, then live music performances would be impossible.

No, unless under very specific circumstances, the speed of sound remains constant.

The volume of a something is due to the amplitude of the frequency, not the speed.

When the loudness of a sound and amplitude of a sound increases the amplitude of the sound produced will be?

The loudness of a sound is the same thing as the overall amplitude of a sound. When measuring sound, in general, you have pitch (frequency) and tone (amplitude, the measure of loudness). So, if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave pattern, you increase the overall intensity of the sound (the energy), and that can be measured on the logarithmic scale of decibels, since an unconstrained, undirected sound wave carries its energy outward in all directions, in an increasing volume of air (or other medium).


How does the loudness or softness of a sound relate to the energy it carries?

Sound has two quantitative qualities that we usually measure and those are amplitude and frequency. So I am asuming you are referring to the loudness and softness as the amplitude quantity. The louder a sound, the more energy it carries. So, a loud sound, using your descriptive terms, has more energy than a soft sound, which has less amplitutde.


What increases so that the sound carries more energy?

loudnes


If the amplitude of a wave is increased then the energy that a wave carries what?

Also increases.


What property of sound describes your awareness of the energy of a sound?

loudness


Are loudness and pitch properties of sound or property of waves?

Loudness and pitch are properties of sound which can be determined by looking at the sound wave. You have a high pitch when the frequency of the wave increases or the wavelenght (lambda) decreases. When the amplitude increases the loudness of the wave increases as well.


What does loudness increase with?

Loudness increases with increasing amplitude of the sound wave, also called increasing sound pressure.


Which increases if the amplitude of a sound wave increases?

The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.


On what factor the loudness of sound depend upon?

The loudness of a sound depends on the amount of energy it takes to make the sound and the distance from the source of the sound.


Which property of sound describes your perception of the energy of a sound?

loudness.


What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?

Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness


What two factors dos loudness depend on?

The loudness of a sound depends on the amount of energy it takes to make the sound and the distance from the source of the sound
