What would be the effect on the loudness of sounds if you held the mouthpiece of a megaphone to your ear?
Emobluerose
Sounds would reach your ear, but sound all distorted. Like holding a seashell to your ear. So not much effect.

Is there a correlation to the amount of time of loudness of music I can hear and the effects it has on my hearing capabilities?
Yes, loud sounds for extended periods can damage your hearing.
How do sounds effect the way humans react?

What are the two elements of sounds?
Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender
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 is pitch of sound?
The pitch of a sound is the number of vibrations per second the instrument produces. An orchestra is pitched to the A above Middle C which vibrates at 440 cycles per second.
How does a megaphone work?
Normally sound will spread out in as many directions as it can from a source. As it spreads out with distance, it loses energy (loudness). A megaphone is a cone that limits the directions that the sound can spread into. It concentrates the sound in the forward direction, so that it sounds louder in that direction at longer distances. The tradeoff is that the sound is much quieter off to the sides of the cone than it would be if the megaphone weren't used
What is a saxophone reed for?
A saxophone reed is used to put on the mouthpiece and when you blow onto the mouthpiece it causes the reed to vibrate and generate sounds. This is how the sounds are made in a saxophone.
What are two ways sounds can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
What describes the differences among sounds of the pitch and loudness?
wavelengths
In what units is the loudness os sounds measured?
The unit of relative loudness is the sone. The unit for absolute loudness, or loudness level, is the phon. Both relative and absolute loudness are perceptual measures that vary from person to person.The unit used to measure sound pressure is the dB (decibel). Since dB measures the power of a sound wave, a physical characteristic, it is not a perceptual measure but a scientific one (thus perception of the sound has no effect on it).Read more: What_is_the_unit_of_relative_loudness
What is a funnel shaped horn used by cheerleaders to amplifly the sounds of their voices?
That would be a megaphone.
What describes the differences among sounds of the same pitch and loudness?
wavelengths
What factors affect the pitch and loudness of the sounds produces by the rubber bands?
wala
What are two ways that sound can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
How does amplitude affect the loudness of vibration?
Generally speaking, we perceive an increase in amplitude as an increase in loudness. However, at the higher end of the scale of Sound Pressure Level we are less sensitive to incremental changes. The loudness we experience also varies with frequency. For instance, we are not as sensitive to soft sounds when they are in the low frequency range (20Hz - 700Hz).Loudness is partly a function of the way in which our ears physically respond to sound. However, the brain/mind plays a big part in how loudness is perceived. Loudness is a characteristic of sound that is primarily a psychological correlate of its physical strength. We can conceive of the (objective) physicalstrength of sound as its amplitude. Then, as we might imagine, the overall effect is that loudness increases with amplitude.
What is a difference between a microphone and megaphone?
A microphone translates a sound wave into an electrical impulse, and a speaker translates an electrical impulse into a sound wave.
What measures the ability to hear and understand speech sounds based on their pitch and loudness?
Audiological evaluation
