Yes, but it's not easy to understand. There is a dependance of sound levels and corresponding factors: Subjectivly sensed loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power). Scroll down to related links and look at "Sound level change and the loudness factor".
Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
it is how loud the sound is ^Smartass comment. The real answer: Loudness is determined by the intensity of sound waves.
Sound intensity is objective, because it's just a measure of the sound power per unit area. Loudness is subjective, because it has to take into account the sensitivity of the ear and its different responses to different frequencies in the sound. A sound with a frequency of 45 kHz would have no "loudness", since our ears don't respond to that frequency at all. But it would still have intensity, because the sound is still carrying energy.
Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
The relationship between sound intensity level and the perception of loudness is that as the sound intensity level increases, the perception of loudness also increases. This means that the louder the sound, the more intense it is perceived to be by our ears.
The loudness of sound is typically measured in decibels (dB) and is influenced by the intensity of the sound wave. As the intensity of a sound increases, the loudness also increases, resulting in a perception of the sound being louder. The relationship between intensity and perceived loudness is not linear, as the human auditory system follows a logarithmic response to changes in sound intensity.
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
Sound intensity is a physical quantity that measures the amount of sound energy passing through a unit area, expressed in watts per square meter. Loudness, on the other hand, is a perceptual response to sound intensity and is subjective. In general, as sound intensity increases, the perceived loudness also increases. However, the relationship between intensity and loudness is not linear but follows a logarithmic scale.
Loudness is the colloquial term and intensity is the scientific term. More the intensity higher the loudness. Same way in case of light, higher the intensity of radiation, we call colloquially that as more brightness.
By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
Loudness of sound: Loudness is that characteristic of sound by which we can distinguish between a loud and a faint sound.It depends upon amplitude, area of vibrating body, intensity and condition of ear. Intensity of sound: Sound energy flowing per second through a unit area held perpendicularly to the direction of sound waves is called the intensity of sound.Its unit is W/m2.
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).
Loudness is to brightness as sound is to light.

The relationship between distance from the source and loudness is that as distance increases, the sound intensity decreases, resulting in lower perceived loudness. This follows the inverse square law, meaning that the sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
