The eventual diminution of a sound waves is usually as heat dissipation in the wall materials, or perhaps in specially designed sound absorbers. During this process, the original amplitude of the wave will gradually diminish.

What results in more energy in a wave?
If wavelength goes up, energy goes down. If frequency goes up, energy goes up.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
Wave that moves back and forth?
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
Is the loudness of a sound wave is related to its amplitude?
From a wave model perspective, the intensity of a sound (i.e. its "loudness") is dependent on the amount of energy that the sound wave carries. The energy of the wave is proportional to the amplitude, how far the wave goes up and down. Thus, the intensity of voice is dependent on how much force you applied to the air passing through your vocal cords, thus displacing them more (thus a bigger amplitude). Try it, put your hand to your throat and feel which sound is more noticeable (when you whisper, or when you shout).
What happens to the energy of a sound wave if it is absorbed by a fabric?
Seeing as nobody has answered I will. Im not entirely sure so double check with a physics teacher but once its absorbed the fabric slightly heats up. like 0.0005 degrees. When absorbed reflection of sound is prevented.
What is sound wave made up of?
A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.

If the energy of a wave goes up does the frequency go down?
As the energy of a wave goes up, the frequency goes UP
What difference in a note does the amplitude of its sound wave make?
is when sound going up wave is going down
Why is sound energy wasted when a kettle is heated?
when th kettle is heating up it making a boiling sound throught the process. This is sounded energy that is not being used hence wasted sound energy
Increasing the amplitude of a sound wave?
Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. Loudness is a subjective felt impression and is in some way related to the objective measure of the sound pressure. Neither our ear drums nor the microphone diaphragms can convert acoustic intensity. Therefore only use the sound pressure for measuring. To measure the loudness feeling is a difficult thing. The loudness of 1 sone equals the loudness level of 40 phons (at 1 kHz).
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
How does a sound travel through?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.
How is sound energy transformed from electric energy to sound energy in a radio?
">Sound energy is transmitted on a frequency, the information is then sent out or an certain frequency, it really isn't transformed from electric energy to sound energy it is just transported via a radio wave or a set frequency from an emanation tower then received and played using electrical energy. If that didn't help sorry, but go read up on energy, frequency, wavelength, and the difference.... Google it, it'll help a lot more than i tried to do. or just go take some classes in college about physics and stuff. It's quite interesting.
What does the freqency of a sound wave affect?
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.
How does wave energy work?
The wave energy works by taking advantage of the down and up movement which is basically mechanical energy.
