∙ 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".

∙ 7y 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.
What is Vibration of molecules energy called?
Gravitational Energy.
Light energy stimulating neurons in the retina is an example of?
perception
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?
The human perception of sound is called audiation. It refers to how our brains interpret and process sound waves into meaningful sounds and music.
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
What determines the pich of sound?
The pich of a sound is the perception of its freqency.
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.
The perception of sound depends on what?
The perception of sound depends on the vibrations of sound waves traveling through the air or another medium, which are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound. Additionally, factors such as sound frequency, intensity, and duration can also influence how we perceive sound.
Peoples perception of sound intensity is known as?
People's perceptions of sound intensity is known as loudness.
What can best explain Perception of pitch?
The perception of pitch is primarily determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies sounding like higher pitches and lower frequencies sounding like lower pitches. This perception is due to the way our ears interpret and process different frequencies of sound waves. Additionally, the perception of pitch can be influenced by factors such as the intensity and complexity of the sound wave.
Is kinetic energy when you feel?
Kinetic energy is the energy that objects have because they are moving. It is not about sensory perception.
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 sound energy energy?
Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.
