"loudness" can be measured using any units of power (energy per time). However most commonly it is measured in decibels (abbreviated dB, a logarithmic scale of power) referenced to the quietest sound a normal human can hear.

∙ 14y agoLoudness 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).

∙ 13y agoThe loudness of a sound is measured in decibels, dB. One dB is a just distinguishable increase. Ten dB sounds twice as loud.
A sound level meter will not (usually) measure real sound energy.
It measures dBA, a spectral curve that approximates the hearing sensitivity over the frequency range over which a human being hears.

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".
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 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"

What loudness or softness of a sound is its?
It depends on the amplitude.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.

What sort of waves make unpleasant sound unpleasant sound?
pleasant sound? softness and low pitch unpleasant sound? loudness and low pitch
What the loudness or softness of a sound?
sound frequency of an individual is same . loud means high pitch. soft means low pitch
How does the loudness or softness of a sound relate to the energy it carries?
Sound has two quantitative qualities that we usually measure and those are amplitude and frequency. So I am asuming you are referring to the loudness and softness as the amplitude quantity. The louder a sound, the more energy it carries. So, a loud sound, using your descriptive terms, has more energy than a soft sound, which has less amplitutde.
What is the loudness or softness?
Basically it is amplitude.
