Is sound louder and clearer when it travels through water?
No,sound is louder and clearer when it travels through air.
What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?
Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".
Can sounds travel through water?
Yes, Sound can go through water. And it is also pretty amzing too!!! Sound can travel through water quite well, even more efficiently than through air. This is because sound is a wave that requires a medium for its transmission, and the higher the density of the medium, the greater the efficiency of transmission. "Efficiency" for this discussion means that the overall amplitude (strength) of the sound is not diminished. However, it should also be understood that sound, as we know it, is comprised of many different frequencies, some higher and some lower. Not all of these will retain their same relative amplitude as they transmit through different materials. So the sound you hear underwater will be different than the sound we are accustomed to hearing through the air. Water is denser than air, so it will transmit sound more efficiently than air. Also understand that sound traveling through air loses much of its original energy (loudness) because air is a relatively poor medium through which to transmit sound. Likewise, since water is so much better, the same sound will seem louder under water. But it is not louder. It just retains more of its original energy. This is why tapping your fingers on an aquarium is not such a good idea. It creates a sound in the water that is much louder than the tapping sound you hear through the air, and which causes great stress to the aquarium fish. Sound will not transmit through a vacuum.
What happens to the ear drum as the sound gets louder?
if you have a sound and its not bothering you but if it comes louder and louder this is what you need 2 do you have to move an dmake sure you ears are not enfected ----
How loud can sound be?
On Earth, somewhere in the neighborhood of 135 dB - because a sound louder than that would cause the air itself to cavitate (form vacuum pockets) which would deaden the sound.
Is sound louder in water or air?
sound is louder in air because it travels and when you are in water you can hear but it is faint because the water in you ears
Is sound louder and clearer when it travels through water?
No,sound is louder and clearer when it travels through air.
Why is sound louder under water?
sound is not louder in water because of the water that is in your ears and the sound would be very faint.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
Can sound energy be louder in water?
Yes.
Why is the speed of sound in the water louder at night?
A speed can't be louder or less loud. The sound itself can be louder; or the speed can be faster.
How does the euphonium make louder or softer sound?
air speed. but mostly air control.
Is sound louder or softer in a solid or water?
Sound is softer in water than in a solid. This is because the density of water is thicker, which hinders the velocity of sound.
What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?
Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".

How does a trumpet player make its instrument sound louder?
By blowing more air into it faster and harder
Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?
It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave
