Does the higher the amplitude of a wave mean the quieter it sounds?

∙ 12y agoIn terms of the physics of sound, pressure or intensity is controlled by the amplitude of a sound wave. Amplitude is a dominant factor in loudness, but other factors are at play.
Loudness is a quality of the perception of sound. It is the psychological corollary of physical intensity or amplitude. Loudness is a subjective measure that is often confused with objective measures of sound pressure or sound intensity.
The perception of loudness varies from person to person, therefore it cannot be universally measured using any single metric. Loudness is also affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration.

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 does amplitude represents?
Amplitude of a signal measures the maximum deviation in magnitude from mean position
Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
What is an amplitude in sound?
Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.
What does a sound wave with high amplitude have?
if high amplitude was found in reservoir after injected water what that mean?
Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?
No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.

What does it mean when a wave has a large amplitude?
Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.
What does sonority mean?
A sonority hierarchy or sonority scale is a ranking of speech sounds (or phones) by amplitude. For example, if you say the vowel [a], you ...

What does a high amplitude mean in nerve conduction studies?
Amplitude is not that important. If anything the area under the curve would be more informative. A good amplitude does mean a good recording though.
What does am mean in am radio?
Amplitude Modulation.
What is the mean of AM signal?
Amplitude Modulation
What does AM in AM Radio mean?
Amplitude Modulation
What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?
Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration of a body from its mean position. The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the loudness of the sound.
