No. They are higher pitched. Frequency determines pitch (the difference between the sound of a bass and a piccolo) but amplitude determines volume.

What will you hear if two sound waves interfere constructively?
louder
Is it possible for a 440 hz sound wave to be louder than an 880 hz sound wave?
Absolutely 440 Hz is the frequency of the A note that is 1½ steps below middle C, the top line of the bass clef. 880 Hz is the frequency of the A note one octave higher, the second space from the bottom of the treble clef. On a piano, if you slam hard on the lower of those two A keys and just lightly press the higher one, the 440-Hz sound will be louder than the 880-Hz sound. The loudness, or amplitude, of a sound wave has to do with how tightly the air molecules (or the molecules of whatever the sound-propagating medium is) are packed in each wave of the sound, while the sound's frequency or pitch has to do with how frequently the waves are generated (440 times per second in the case of a 440-Hz sound), or how far apart the waves are (frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength).
How can the interference of two sound waves produce a louder sound?
Yes as a matter of fact it can. for example take two stones and go to a like throw one in the water and shortly after throw the other one within three feet of the first stone. Now view the ripples. Like sound the ripples crated from one emission can effect and enlargen the ripples from another.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
What wavelength frequencies of sound waves can people hear?
They vibrate over a wide range of rates. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch of the sound.
What is sound louder than?
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
What are the three features of waves?
A sound wave is a vibration of air that travels at approximately 767mph. The higher up these vibrations go (amplitude), the louder the sound is. The closer together these vibrations are (frequency), the higher pitch the sound will be.
Why does resonance make sound louder?
Because the constructive interference of the sound waves.
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 property of the sound waves changed to produce the louder volume?
Well, the sound waves get bigger due to increase in volume, but the pitch does not changes, the waves themselves in real life get louder and therefore harder to absorb
What will you hear if two sound waves interfere constructively?
louder
How does the constructive interference make the orchestra louder?
because the sound waves combine to make a bigger louder wave
Are there waves of light and sound?
Yes. Sound waves have different frequencies which cause them to be louder/softer/higher/lower.Light waves have different frequencies too. The shorter the distance between the wavelenghts the darker the color. White light (the normal light the sun gives) is all of the colors together
What makes sound loud?
it depends how much energy is used making the sound the more energy the louder because sound waves are transverse waves and waves are a reapeating disturbance of energy
What is the difference from lower sound waves and higher sound waves?
Because the low note is short and the high note is hifh
Why does a guitar string produce a louder sound if it is plucked harder?
the larger the amplitude at which something vibrates = the louder the sound. so by plucking a string harder, you're increasing the amplitude of the sound waves and thus increasing the sound volume
Is music likely to sound louder or softer than when the band plays indoors?
I think that it would be louder inside, because the sound waves viberate off the walls and all around everybody.
