Only the ear drums can convert the sound pressure. That is not the acoustic intensity.
Our 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.
No, the drums can be cleaned with brake cleaner.No, the drums can be cleaned with brake cleaner.
It's not the sound intensity I (acoustic intensity) as sound power quantity, it's the sound pressure p as sound field quantity, which moves you ear drums. I ~ p²
The sound intensity I or acoustic intensity is defined as the sound power per unit area.Sound intensity is an energy quantity.The usual context is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location.The basic for our ear drums is the sound pressure p2. Sound pressure is a field quantity.I ∝ p2
Usually we measure sound with a SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level). Also our ear drums are moved by sound pressure deviations.
Instead of using hydraulic brake fluid to apply the pads to the brake drums or discs, air pressure is used.
The word loudness belongs to psycho acoustics and tells how we feel this sound, that is not measuring the sound like we do with a sound pressure meter. Listening to music means motion to the ear drums. Only sound pressure moves the ear drums. The energy or the sound intensity is much less important here. Sound intensity belongs more to the noise fighters.

Because our ear drums are moved only by sound pressure variations we measure the sound usually as Sound Pressure Level (SPL) or sound pressure in pascal and not as sound intensity in W/m².
If you are inexperienced, you should not be messing around with the brake drums.
New brake drums are broken in the first time you go for a drive usually.
