Well, energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. So if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave by a factor of 4, the resulting energy would be 16 times as large.
A change in the amplitude.
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?"
amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
Intensity of sound is dealt as volume in case of radio sets. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of amplitude. So as volume is turned down, intensity is reduced and so the amplitude is decreased.
It gets louder or quieter.

It becomes louder. The amplitude of the sound wave increases

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.
Amplitude is typically represented as being the "height" of a sound wave. A sound that is louder will have a greater amplitude than a quieter sound.
A sound wave can be represented by changes in the average position of atoms, OR in changes in pressure, over time. The amplitude represents the maximum change in one of these.
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound
