Proper air pressure makes for the best gas mileage. Too soft and it wastes energy. Too hard and the tires are not safe to drive on.

What is the loudness of a sound?

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. 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).Scroll down to related links and look at "All about loudness".
