Yes that is right. Scroll down to related links and look at "Sound Quantities and their Levels".

How are the amplitudes of sound waves?
There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
What determines the volume of a sound?
Loudness is the subjective personal perception of the ears and brain of a listener. Perceived loudness varies from person to person and cannot be measured.You can measure the objective sound pressure or sound pressure level SPL but not the subjective loudness.
What instrument measures sound intensity?
An oscilloscope measures electrical signal amplitude and wavelength. A decibel or sound-level meter. A cheap one is available at your local Walmart for about $20 located in the car audio section. If not instore, online. They make much better ones, but if you are looking to just get a rough idea, this is the way to go.
What does the the amplitude look like for a loud sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.
How is the loudness of a sound related to the amplitude?
Loudness is really a subjective measure and is often confused with objective measures in decibel units of sound pressure or sound intensity.
What affect the volume of sound?
The amplitude of the sound pressure.
What does amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
What is a sound wave of a high pressure called?
A sound wave with high sound pressure (amplitude) or high sound particle displacement (amplitude) is a sound wave that has a high loudness.
What kind of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The type of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. Amplitude is the measure of the changes within the wave.
