The word loudness belongs to psycho acoustics and tells how we feel this sound, that is not measuring the sound like we do with a sound pressure meter. Listening to music means motion to the ear drums. Only sound pressure moves the ear drums. The energy or the sound intensity is much less important here. Sound intensity belongs more to the noise fighters.
What else can I help you with?
Is the higher the amplitude of a wave the quieter it sounds?
No, the amplitude of a wave is related to the magnitude of its energy, not its perceived loudness. In sound waves, the perceived loudness is determined by the intensity of the sound, which is related to the wave's amplitude and the distance the sound travels. So a higher amplitude wave may not necessarily sound quieter.
The characteristic of a sound wave that you interpret as loudness is related?
to its amplitude. The greater the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder it will be perceived. This is because amplitude is directly correlated with the amount of energy carried by the wave, impacting the intensity of the sound.
What is the energy of a sound wave most closely related to?
It is most closely related to its amplitude (loudness, magnitude) because this is determined by the energy used to create the sound. Louder noises generally take more energy to create.
What decreases when the intensity of sound decreases?
When the intensity of sound decreases, the amplitude of the sound waves decreases. This means that the sound waves carry less energy, resulting in a softer and quieter sound. The perception of loudness is directly related to the intensity of sound.
How does the amplitude of a sound relate to its intensity?
The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the amplitude of sound pressure variations. Intensity I = sound pressure squared p2.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness

The human perception of sound intensity is called?
The human perception of sound intensity is called loudness. Loudness is influenced by the amplitude or energy of the sound wave and is measured in decibels (dB).
Is the loudness of a sound wave is related to its amplitude?
From a wave model perspective, the intensity of a sound (i.e. its "loudness") is dependent on the amount of energy that the sound wave carries. The energy of the wave is proportional to the amplitude, how far the wave goes up and down. Thus, the intensity of voice is dependent on how much force you applied to the air passing through your vocal cords, thus displacing them more (thus a bigger amplitude). Try it, put your hand to your throat and feel which sound is more noticeable (when you whisper, or when you shout).
What is meant by the loudness of sound?
Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude). It is a feeling, which is neither the sound pressure as field quantity nor the acoustic intensity as energy quantity. Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia".

Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the amplitude of sound pressure variations. Intensity I = sound pressure squared p2.
What is the relation between amplitude and loudness?
Sound is a mechanical wave. This means it needs a material medium to travel through. The loudness ie the intensity of sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. As the sound wave passes through, due to elasticity of the medium the energy will be lost and so the amplitude gets decreased. So at far distance the sound intensity will be very feeble.
Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
No, the energy of a mechanical wave does not depend on the amplitude of the wave. The energy is determined by the frequency and the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude only affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, not the total energy.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The loudness of a sound is typically measured in terms of intensity or amplitude, not wavelength. The wavelength of a sound wave affects its pitch, not its loudness. Sound intensity is related to the amount of energy carried by the sound wave.
