How does amplitude affect the loudness of vibration?
Generally speaking, we perceive an increase in amplitude as an increase in loudness. However, at the higher end of the scale of Sound Pressure Level we are less sensitive to incremental changes. The loudness we experience also varies with frequency. For instance, we are not as sensitive to soft sounds when they are in the low frequency range (20Hz - 700Hz).Loudness is partly a function of the way in which our ears physically respond to sound. However, the brain/mind plays a big part in how loudness is perceived. Loudness is a characteristic of sound that is primarily a psychological correlate of its physical strength. We can conceive of the (objective) physicalstrength of sound as its amplitude. Then, as we might imagine, the overall effect is that loudness increases with amplitude.
