In music, dynamics normally refers to the volume of a sound or note, but can also refer to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics. Dynamics do not indicate specific volume levels, but are meant to be played with reference to the ensemble as a whole.

It is called the dynamics of sound. For instance, a sound between 100dB (loud) and 30dB (quiet) would have a dynamic range of 60dB; the difference between the two extremes.
