Loudness of a sound can be measured by a sound pressure level meter. It belongs to psycho acoustics.
Loudness is a subjective measure, which is often confused with objective measures of sound prtessure such as decibels or sound intensity. Filters such as A-weighting attempt to adjust sound measurements to correspond to loudness as perceived by the average human. However, as the perception of loudness varies from person to person it cannot be universally measured using any single metric. Loudness is also affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. In acoustics volume is related to amplitude, sound pressure, and dynamics.
There is subjectivly perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power).

What else can I help you with?
How does amplitude affect the loudness of a sound?
it is how loud the sound is ^Smartass comment. The real answer: Loudness is determined by the intensity of sound waves.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
What units are used to measure sound loudness and softness?
Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness".
What unit is used to measure sound and loudness?
Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness"
Which of these is associated with a sound's loudness?
Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. also sound wave amplitude
What property of sound describes your awareness of the energy of a sound?
Loudness is the property of sound that describes our awareness of the energy of a sound. It is subjective and depends on the amplitude of the sound wave.
What determines the loudness of sound waves?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
Loudness is the human perception of sound wave?
The amplitude of sound waves is what humans perceive as loudness.
How is loudness of sound determined?
The loudness of sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound. Decibels (dB) are used to measure loudness on a logarithmic scale.
What is loudness of sound determined by?
The loudness of sound is determined by the amplitude or intensity of the sound wave. Greater amplitude or intensity results in a louder sound. The unit used to measure loudness is decibels (dB).
What is brightness as sound is to light?
Loudness is to brightness as sound is to light.
On what factor the loudness of sound depend upon?
The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound. The human perception of loudness also depends on the frequency of the sound wave and the sensitivity of the human ear.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
What part of a waveform describes a sound's loudness?
The amplitude of a waveform describes a sound's loudness. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound.
What unit of sound loudness?
The unit of sound loudness is the decibel (dB). It is a logarithmic scale that measures the intensity or volume of sound.
How does amplitude affect the loudness of a sound?
it is how loud the sound is ^Smartass comment. The real answer: Loudness is determined by the intensity of sound waves.
Which is a similarity between loudness and pitch?
There is no similarity. Loudness has to do with sound pressure amplitude coming from the sound source. Pitch has to do with the frequency of the tone the sound source is making. Loudness cannot be pitch.
