Amplifying, or amplification would be common descriptors for the process of making sound louder.
In Musical Instruments, sounding boards are one common practice. These vibrate a larger surface. This applies to piano and violas. A horn or trumpet is a device for matching the impedance of the source to that of free air, and this device is used in the brass instruments(including the digeridoo!) and some wood wind instruments. A car horn and a speaking Trumpet are other examples.
These simple systems may give in excess of 20dB amplification. (100 times).

How many decibels does a fan make?
That depends how close you measure to the fan. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
How do guitar strings vibrate to make sound -?
what it comes down to because of the bridge keeping the strings in place without slipping and the machine heads for the tuners keeping the guitars tuning when we hit the strings they create music because when they're hit they vibrate back and forth at speeds that go throughout the neck and body to create sound the faster the strings move the higher pitched the notes are , and vice versa the slower the lower the note which is why playing near the body (24th fret) compared to far away from the body of the guitar (1st fret) we get different sounding notes.
Increasing the amplitude of a sound wave?
Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. Loudness is a subjective felt impression and is in some way related to the objective measure of the sound pressure. Neither our ear drums nor the microphone diaphragms can convert acoustic intensity. Therefore only use the sound pressure for measuring. To measure the loudness feeling is a difficult thing. The loudness of 1 sone equals the loudness level of 40 phons (at 1 kHz).
Why the sonometer does consist of a hollow wooden box?
The holes in a sonometer will make sure the inside air in communication with outer air therefore we can hear the sound.
What is useful in achieving mechanical sound reduction which make less sound for gear?
A lubricant and sound insulation.
Describe a way you can make the sound of a guitar string louder?
get heavier gauge strings, than you can make it sound much louder
How does plucking the string with fingers help to make a sound louder?
The sound becomes brighter when strings are plucked and only seems to be louder.
What kind of sound will an instrument with short strings make?
An instrument with short strings will make a rubber band type sound but real high pitched.
Which type of percussion-instrument is a pianoforte?
A piano is both a percussion instrument and a string instrument. Inside a piano, tiny hammers strike strings to make pitches. It is a string instrument in that the strings are what vibrate to make the sound, but it is a percussion instrument in that it has a keyboard and strikes to make sound.
Why does the size of the double bass make it sound louder?
The vibration produced by the strings have more room to vibrate.
How can sound make a sound louder?
As a rule,the higher the strings are off the fingerbord,the louder the sound. You are going to be limited of course,because the higher the strings,the harder to play. Heavier gauge strings are louder than light gauge.That's the reason that bluegrass musicians use dreadnaught size Guitars,Usually Martin,with a high action and heavy strings. This makes for a lot of volume,but a killer on the fingers. This is the only way I know of to make an acoustic guitar louder short of shaving down the braces and/or top,which should only be done by a skilled luthier and can be quite expensive.
How do you make the volume greater on a string instrument?
If you put the bow near the bridge, the instrument will sound louder. If you put the bow far the bridge, it will sound softer.
How does a trumpet player make its instrument sound louder?
By blowing more air into it faster and harder
Are the left center and outer strings of the middle C on the piano all the same?
I guess...to make the sound louder, or support.
What are the main groups of instruments?
Percussion - example - Drums: these instruments are struck with something such as the hand, or a stick or hammer to make the sound. Woodwind- Example - Clarinet: these instruments have a reed to vibrate to make the sound. Brass- example - Trumpet: these instruments make sound by the vibrating lips of the player. String - example - violin : these instruments have strings that rubbed with a bow or plucked to make a sound There are also electronic instruments such as the theremin and one might consider the human voice to be an instrument.
How do the strings effect pitch on an instrument?
the different tautness helps make different sounds like a guitar. tighter strings = higher sound
Is the piano a string instrument?
no but it does use strings to create the notes this is my second answer can you please comment
