Loudness increases with increasing amplitude of the sound wave, also called increasing sound pressure.
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
The most common unit of sound loudness is the decibel (dB).
The unit of relative loudness is the sone. The unit for absolute loudness, or loudness level, is the phon. Both relative and absolute loudness are perceptual measures that vary from person to person.The unit used to measure sound pressure is the dB (decibel). Since dB measures the power of a sound wave, a physical characteristic, it is not a perceptual measure but a scientific one (thus perception of the sound has no effect on it).Read more: What_is_the_unit_of_relative_loudness
That is a missunderstanding. Decibels are never doubled. The ratio or the factor can be doubled.Doubling means the "factor 2". What does doubling of a "sound" mean?Doubling the (sound) intensity is obtained by an increase of the (sound intensity) level of 3 dB.Doubling the sound pressure is obtained by an increase of the (sound pressure) level of 6 dB.Doubling the loudness feeling is obtained by an increase of the (loudness) level of about 10 dB.
No, the loudness of a sound does not affect its speed. The speed of sound is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, such as air or water. The loudness of a sound is related to its amplitude or intensity.

When the amplitude of a vibration is doubled, the loudness of a sound will increase by 6 decibels. This is because the decibel scale is logarithmic, and a doubling of amplitude corresponds to an increase of 6 dB. This means that the sound will be perceived as approximately twice as loud to the human ear.
The 'Loudness' of a sound wave is dependent on its Amplitude, hence why we have 'amplifiers' to increase the volume of something.
To increase volume, you blow more air through the instrument.
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
80dB is 10 times louder than 70dB. In terms of perceived loudness, an increase of 10dB roughly corresponds to doubling the loudness level.
A speaker is a device that converts an electrical signal into a sound wave with an increase in loudness. The electrical signal causes the speaker's diaphragm to vibrate, producing sound waves that we can hear.
Humans perceive sound intensity through the amplitude of sound waves. The amplitude determines the loudness of the sound, with higher amplitudes correlating to louder sounds. The perceived loudness follows a logarithmic scale, with each increase in intensity corresponding to a perceived doubling of loudness.
No, legato means to play the notes smoothly and connected. The word you are thinking about is crescendo.
Generally speaking, we perceive an increase in amplitude as an increase in loudness. However, at the higher end of the scale of Sound Pressure Level we are less sensitive to incremental changes. The loudness we experience also varies with frequency. For instance, we are not as sensitive to soft sounds when they are in the low frequency range (20Hz - 700Hz).Loudness is partly a function of the way in which our ears physically respond to sound. However, the brain/mind plays a big part in how loudness is perceived. Loudness is a characteristic of sound that is primarily a psychological correlate of its physical strength. We can conceive of the (objective) physicalstrength of sound as its amplitude. Then, as we might imagine, the overall effect is that loudness increases with amplitude.
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
