Your ears and the sound pressure level meter "measure" the sound pressure of a sound wave. Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meter.

Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.
Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -
and the sound pressure is the effect.
The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.

Unit of sound intensity?

The unit of sound intensity I is watts per meter squared (W/m²). Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Sound pressure deviations are moving our eardrums. The unit of sound pressure p is pascals (Pa) or newton per meter squared (N/m²). Sound pressure is a sound field quantity. Another answer: The most common unit of sound intensity is the decibel (dB). Reply: No! We got the sound intensity measured in W/m² and the sound intensity level we measure in decibels (dB). The question was "sound intensity".

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 the loudness of sound also known as?

The loudness of sound is also known as the sound intensity, which refers to the measure of the energy carried by sound waves. It is perceived by humans as how loud or soft a sound is. The unit used to measure sound intensity is decibels (dB).


Is a measure of a sound waves intensity?

Sound intensity or acoustic intensity (I) is defined as the sound power Pac per unit area A. The usual context is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location as a sound energy quantity. Our eardrums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure deviations (p), which is a sound field quantity. So we measure the sound with a SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level).
