Sound is a compressional wave , i.e , pressure. you do understand that pressure is F/A.Thus when A increases the pressure decreases. Now sound waves looks like a circle where its center is the origin of the sound and the circle gets bigger as we go further from its center this means that the area covered increases and the sound compressional waves ( pressure) decreases.
Distance effects sound because sounds moves by bumping into other particles and momentum is lost every time they bump because it creates heat and so one

∙ 12y agoA loud sound can move a larger distance than a soft sound because a large sound has larger amplitude which means it has more energy level than a soft sound with small amplitude with less energy llevel

How can sound continue to be heard after the sound souce stops making sound?
you would still hear the sound because of the sound's echo
Does your distance from a sound source affect how loud the sound seems?
The sound pressure decreases with distance r in a free field (direct field). The next question is. How does the sound decrease with increasing distance? After which law? Answer: The sound pressure p diminishes with distance after the 1/r law. Sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source. The Sound pressure level (SPL) decreases by (−)6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value. Sometimes it is said, that the sound decreases with with 1/r², the inverse square law. That is really wrong. Scroll down to related links and look at "Damping of sound level with distance".
How quickly a sound reaches your ear depends on?
It depends on the distance it has to travel.
Which type of sound wave is usually felt rather than heard?
The type of sound waves usually felt rather than heard are those with frequencies of less than 20 Hz.
What must they do to maximize the loudness of the sound heard by the audience?
Hang reflecting panels from the ceiling behind the Orchestra.
