Best Answer

The "loudness" with which you perceive a sound is determined by

-- the amplitude of the sound as it leaves the source

-- the distance between you and the source

-- obstacles or absorptive media in the path between the source and your ear

-- reflective surfaces near the path, leading to multipath interference, constructive

or destructive at the frequencies that comprise the sound

-- the relative amplitude response of your ear at the frequencies that comprise the sound.
