Loudness can be measured by a sound pressure level meter.
Loudness is a subjective measure, which is often confused with objective measures of sound prtessure such as decibels or sound intensity. Filters such as A-weighting attempt to adjust sound measurements to correspond to loudness as perceived by the average human. However, as the perception of loudness varies from person to person it cannot be universally measured using any single metric. Loudness is also affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. In acoustics volume is related to amplitude, sound pressure, and dynamics.
There is subjectivly perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power).

Decibels
Decibels are a measurement of the loudness of sound.
Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness"
The word "volume" represents the relative "loudness" of a sound. The word "decibel" is a unit of measurement for sound.
The most common acoustic measurement tools are the Loudness Meter, and the Real-Time Analyser. The Loudness meter measures dbSPL. The Real-Time Analyser measures the power of individual frequency bands.
Pitch
No, frequency measures the pitch of a sound, not its loudness. Loudness is typically measured in decibels, which represent the intensity or volume of a sound. The higher the decibel level, the louder the sound.
Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
