The loudness of a sound is related to how much energy is transmitted to the air. Clapping your hands transmits a small amount of energy. Detonating a stick of dynamite transmits MUCH more energy. The amplitude of the sound wave is much greater, and the noise, louder.

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. As sound waves travel farther from their source, the more spread out their energy becomes.
