What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?

amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.


How do sounds differ from one and and another?

it differs by the vibrations


What is the difference between a loud and soft sound?

Sound is actually a vibration in the air which travels in the form of a wave. The larger the amplitude of the wave, the "louder" the sound. the smaller the amplitude of the wave, the "softer" the sound.


What do sounds have in common?

Pitch and Amplitude


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.


How can you make a softer sound?

the amplitude of a sound wave makes sound loudness and softer.. damping makes a sound weak and amplifying makes it strong


How can you make sound softer?

the amplitude of a sound wave makes sound loudness and softer.. damping makes a sound weak and amplifying makes it strong


How do the amplitudes of a decibel sound a 100-decibels sound compare?

The power or intensity of the louder one is 10 billion times the power or intensity of the softer one. Since the power or intensity is typically proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the louder one is a mere 100,000 times the amplitude of the softer one.

How do you here sounds?

you here sounds through vibrations, pitch and amplitude?


Is the amplitude of a sound wave determined by the sounds pitch?

yes because amplitude is based an the pitch of the sound


Can two sounds have the frequency but different amplitude?

Yes.
