Because the sound energy (air compressions/rarefactions) can't escape from the pipe, while a lot of the sound energy can disperse sideways on its way there and back to a cliff. (You don't have to stand directly in front of someone to hear them speak).

Is shooting a gun in a house louder or quieter than outdoors?

Louder because you are more in closed so it echoes more.


Will reflecting sound be louder?

No, reflecting sound will not make it louder. Reflection simply redirects the sound waves in different directions without amplifying them. Sound can appear louder when reflected if it reaches the listener from multiple directions, creating a perception of increased volume.


Are the 5.56x45 and 7.62x39 both equally loud just a different pitch in the sound and how loud are they compared to a 308 and which is louder at a distance a 5.56 NATO or a 7.62x39?

In my opinion, the 5.56 and 7.62x39 are very closwe in noise level, the 7.62 being a bit louder. The .308 is about 25% louder. Distance does not matter.


What is a vacuum not a vacuum cleaner?

That depends on the distance to the vacuum cleaner. The closer, the louder.


How are some sounds louder than others?

Sounds are louder when they have greater intensity or amplitude, which is the magnitude of the sound wave. The more energy a sound wave has, the louder it will be. Additionally, the distance between the sound source and the listener can also affect how loud a sound appears.


Is sound louder in a room with its door open or with its door closed please state ur source too?

Sound is not audibly louder in a room with the door open or closed. If I had a volume meter I might be able to measure the sound being slightly louder with it closed because the sound would reflect off a closed door but leave through an open one, but you'll never hear it. I determined this experimentally. First I closed the door to the room and played some Iron Maiden with my speakers turned up halfway. Then I opened the door to the room and played the same song at the same volume setting. It didn't get any quieter in there. The real effect, of course, is OUTSIDE the room. If I open the door and play Maiden, the neighbors hear it better than if I keep it closed and play them.


How does loudness of an echo in echolocation affect distance?

To our knowledge, the amplitude of the echo isn't used in the determination ofthe range to the target. The amplitude depends on the size, shape, and surfacecomposition of the target, so it's not a reliable indicator of the distance. The distanceis determined primarily by measuring the time delaybefore the echo returns to thesource of the sound.


What makes the sound louder or softer?

The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude produces a softer sound. The distance from the sound source also affects perceived loudness, as sound waves spread out and lose intensity over distance.

What is the sound quality of a harp?

The decibels depends how close you measure to the harp. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.


How many decibels is a drum kit?

A drum kit is no decibels. The decibels depends how close you measure to the bat. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
