Loud sounds are caused by bigger vibrations than quiet sounds truefalse?

partly true. increases in the amplitude of a sound wave will generally make that sound wave sound louder, but sound volume is a least partly subjective. two different frequencies with the same mechanical amplitude might sound like they are at very different volume levels because of the way the ear and brain process sound information.

How are sound made?
Simply put, sounds are made through vibrations in the air. We can translate these vibrations into sound because of our ear drums.

What allows us to hear sounds underwater?
The soundwaves caused by sounds made underwater, disrupts the water molecules causing them to vibrate. These vibrations hit our ear drum and is processed into our brain as sounds, but since the vibrations in water are slower then vibrations in air the sounds sound more obsure then if it were not in water.
What sounds do weak vibrations produce?
Weak vibrations produce soft or quieter sounds.
Who does sound travel in produced vibrations?

What are sounds produced?

Are sound vibrations words?

What is the medical term meaning to elicit sounds or vibrations by tapping?

What are all sounds produced by?
vibrations
Why car making high frequency sound when accerelating?
The answer is essentially in the question. Sound is the sensation caused by vibrations in the air. The faster the vibrations, the higher the frequency. So, when an engine is revved, the frequency of the vibrations it creates increases, and it gives higher frequency sounds, perceived as an increase in pitch.
How do you here sounds?
you here sounds through vibrations, pitch and amplitude?
