Feelings of loudness are different from person to person. So don't talk of "measuring" the "loudness".

For psycho acoustic values we have units to express loudness:

Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L).

You can really measure the sound pressure with a sound pressure level meter. That is measured in dB SPL. Loudness is a subjective measure but sound pressure is an objective measure. But that is different. Don't mix it up. Scroll down to related links and look for more on decreasing of sound pressure with distance.
