Loudness is a word from psychoacoustics. It is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. Loudness is a really subjective measure. It is often confused with objective measures of sound pressure or sound intensity. The perception of loudness varies from person to person, therefore it cannot be universally measured using any single metric. Loudness is also affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration.

∙ 15y agoThe loudness of a sound is determined by the sound pressure of the sound source und the distance the listener has to that source. Scroll down to related links and look at "Damping of sound pressure level with distance".

What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What is the physical dimension of light and sound that determines brightness and loudness?
Amplitude
What is the property of a wave that determines volume or loudness?
Amplitude of the wave decides the loudness Frequency of the wave stands for the pitch of the sound
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
What property of sound describes your awareness of the energy of a sound?
loudness

The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines the loudness of sound waves?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.

Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
What determines loudness?
the intesity of sound
The amplitude of a waveform determines the what of the sound?
Volume (loudness)

What factor determines the loudness of a sound?
Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?
What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
