Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. In acoustics volume is related to amplitude, sound pressure, and dynamics.

The 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.

There is subjectivly perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power).

Which of these associated with the loudness of sound waves?

The amplitude of sound waves is associated with the loudness of the sound. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude produces a quieter sound.


Which of these is associated with loudness of sound waves?

Depends on what "these" are. It is amplitude


What determines the loudness of sound waves?

The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.


How do you Compare the loudness of sound waves that constructively interfere with the loudness of sound waves that destructively interfere?

The loudness of sound waves that constructively interfere adds up, resulting in a louder sound. On the other hand, sound waves that destructively interfere cancel each other out, leading to a softer or quieter sound.


What is the opposite of loudness in science?

The opposite of loudness in science is quietness or silence. Loudness refers to the intensity of sound waves, while silence denotes the absence of sound waves.

What is associated with a sound's loudness?

decebels


Is the loudness of the sound its waves amplitude?

Yes.


The pitch of a sound that you hear depends on the sound waves?

LOUDNESS


Loudness is the human perception of sound wave?

The amplitude of sound waves is what humans perceive as loudness.


What is associated with the sound's loudness?

The loudness of a sound is associated with the amplitude of the sound wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound. The unit used to measure sound amplitude is decibels (dB).


What property of sound waves is related to the amplitude of the waves?

The amplitude of a sound wave is related to its intensity, which determines the loudness of the sound. Sound waves with greater amplitude produce louder sounds, while sound waves with smaller amplitude produce softer sounds.
