Loudness N is measured in in sones.
Loudness level LN is measured in in phons.
Sound pressure level is measured in dBSPL, where the reference level of 0 dBSPL is the threshold of hearing.
The ear drums and the microphones are only sensitve to the sound pressure.
We measure the sound pressure with a sound level meter.
Loudness is affected by sound pressure, frequency and its bandwidth, and duration (time).
Usually sound is measured in Decibels.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relation between loudness and sound intensity?
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".
How does sound intensity differ from loudness?
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.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
Loudness and intensity compares and contrasts?
Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. Loudness is a subjective felt impression and is in some way related to the objective measure of the sound pressure. Neither our ear drums nor the microphone diaphragms can convert acoustic intensity. Therefore only use the sound pressure for measuring. To measure the loudness feeling is a difficult thing.
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.
Unit of measuring loudness of sound is called?
The unit of measuring loudness of sound is called the decibel (dB). The decibel scale is logarithmic and is used to compare the intensity of different sounds.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?
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.
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.
How loudness of sound changes?
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.
WHAT IS The loudness of sound called?
Intensity
What is the loudness or the softness of sound?
intensity :)
How are loudness and intensity related to the amplitude and energy of the sound?
The word loudness belongs to psycho acoustics and tells how we feel this sound, that is not measuring the sound like we do with a sound pressure meter. Listening to music means motion to the ear drums. Only sound pressure moves the ear drums. The energy or the sound intensity is much less important here. Sound intensity belongs more to the noise fighters.
Is a measure of loudness or intensity of sound?
Sound pressure level (SPL) is a commonly used metric to quantify the loudness or intensity of sound. It is expressed in units called decibels (dB) and provides a relative measure of how powerful a sound wave is compared to a reference level. SPL values are logarithmic, meaning a small change in dB corresponds to a significant change in sound intensity.
What is the relationship between sound intensity level and the perception of loudness?
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.
What loudness and intensity are not the same concept due to the interaction of?
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.
