No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.
What else can I help you with?
Unit of measuring loudness of sound is called?
The unit of measuring loudness of sound is called the decibel (dB). The decibel scale is logarithmic and is used to compare the intensity of different sounds.
What is a unit to compare loudness?
The unit commonly used to compare loudness is the decibel (dB). The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale that measures the intensity of sound. It helps quantify the difference in loudness between sounds.
What does the abbreviated science term db means?
db stands for Decibel and it means a unit used to compare the loudness of different sounds :D
What are two ways sounds can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
Is it true that the loudness of different sounds is compared in units called hertz?
No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.
What are two ways that sound can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
What describes the differences among sounds of the same pitch and loudness?
The differences among sounds of the same pitch and loudness can be described by the timbre of the sound. Timbre is the quality that distinguishes between two sounds with the same pitch and loudness, allowing us to differentiate between different musical instruments or voices. It is determined by the unique combination of overtones and harmonics present in the sound.
What scale determines how loud something is?
The scale that determines how loud something is called the decibel scale. It measures the intensity of sound waves and allows us to quantify and compare the loudness of different sounds. The scale ranges from 0 dB (absolute silence) to around 120-130 dB (threshold of pain).
How would you set up a table showing the loudness of different sounds?
by taking water bottles and hitting it with spoons
What describes sounds that have the same pitch and loudness?
Sounds that have the same pitch and loudness are described as having the same frequency and amplitude. This results in the sounds having a consistent tone and volume.
Why do the same notes on a trumpet and on a saxophone sound different when both are played with the same pitch and loudness?
because their different instruments and all instruments have different sounds
The characteristic which distinguishes sounds from two sources of sound of same loudness and same frequency is called what?
The sound color or the timbre.
