∙ 12y agoSound intensity or acoustic intensity (I) is defined as the sound power Pac per unit area A. The usual context is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location as a sound energy quantity.
Our eardrums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure deviations (p), which is a sound field quantity. So we measure the sound with a SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level).

∙ 13y agoLoudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude). It is a feeling, which is neither the sound pressure as field quantity nor the acoustic intensity as energy quantity.
Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia".

∙ 6y agoIt's not so much the energy, but the intensity.Energy/time = power
Power / cross sectional area = intensity
Basically, other things being equal, if a sound has more intensity (so, more watts per square meter), you will perceive it as louder. However, the perceived loudness of a sound also varies a bit, depending on the frequency.

∙ 14y agoOur ear drums with the ear/brain system are moved only by sound pressure motions. The sound pressure is the effect, but the sound power (sound intensity) of the source is the cause.

Sound energy as a carrier of energy?
Yes. Sound energy is a carrier of energy.
Light energy stimulating neurons in the retina is an example of?
perception
What is Vibration of molecules energy called?
Gravitational Energy.
When might kinetic energy turn into sound energy?
When you drop a rock and it hits the side walk it makes a sound. Kinetic energy transferred to sound energy.
What energy transfers take place in a speaker?
In an electric fan electric energy is converted into mechanical energy which makes the blades of the fan spin. On the other hand in a loudspeaker electric energy is converted into sound energy which produces the music.
Which property of sound describes your perception of the energy of a sound?
loudness.
What is the human perception of sound called?
Psychoacoustics is the process of analysing the human perception of sound.
What determines the pich of sound?
The pich of a sound is the perception of its freqency.
What two things affect loudness?
The speed of sound is slower at higher altitudes because the air temperature is lower. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound. It is your perception of the energy of a sound. What two factors affect the loudness of a sound
When a source of sound moves toward a person what does pitch do?
As sound travels, the waves spread out and lose energy. Since the energy of a sound wave is proporitonal to it's total energy, losing energy causes the frequency to decrease. Pitch is human perception of frequenct, so the pitch drops as the waves propagate.
Peoples perception of sound intensity is known as?
People's perceptions of sound intensity is known as loudness.
The human perception of sound intensity is called?
That is called acoustic
What is the human perception of the frequency of sound?
I think you mean pitch.
Is kinetic energy when you feel?
Kinetic energy is the energy that objects have because they are moving. It is not about sensory perception.
Is sound energy energy?
Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.
Is a tv movement or energy or light energy or sound energy or heat energy?
The 'movement' that you perceive on a television screen is not really movement. It's an illusion set up between the television and your visual perception system. One such kind of illusion is known as the phi phenomenon. Please see the link.
Is a radio a sound energy?
A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.
