It is the intensity of the sound wave. There is however a big difference between sound intensity and loudness. Loudness is measured with a scale called the Decibal scale , which is abbreviated as db in many cases. Your typical rock concert can hit db levels of 125db, and a typical iPod tops out at around 100db. The relationship between loudness and sound wave intensity can be explained by how compact and by wave amplitude. Amplitude is the height of the wave. Sound waves are introduced into a medium by the vibration of an object. For example, a vibrating guitar string forces surrounding air molecules to be compressed and expanded, creating a pressure disturbance consisting of an alternating pattern of compressions and rarefactions. The disturbance then travels from particle to particle through the medium, transporting energy as it moves. The energy which is carried by the disturbance was originally imparted to the medium by the vibrating string. The amount of energy which is transferred to the medium is dependent upon the amplitude of vibrations of the guitar string. If more energy is put into the plucking of the string (that is, more work is done to displace the string a greater amount from its rest position), then the string vibrates with a greater amplitude. The greater amplitude of vibration of the guitar string thus imparts more energy to the medium, causing air particles to be displaced a greater distance from their rest position. Subsequently, the amplitude of vibration of the particles of the medium is increased, corresponding to an increased amount of energy being carried by the particles thus resulting in an increase in the volume or db levels.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?
Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".
What happens to the ear drum as the sound gets louder?
As sound gets louder, the ear drum vibrates more forcefully. If the sound is extremely loud, the ear drum may reach its maximum vibration capacity, leading to potential damage or tearing. This can result in hearing loss or other ear-related issues.
Which two properties of a sound gets louder?
The two properties of a sound that get louder are its amplitude, which determines the volume or intensity of the sound, and its energy level, which increases as the sound becomes louder.
What happens to the volume of a sound as the amplitude gets louder?
As the amplitude of a sound increases, the volume perceived by our ears also increases. This is because amplitude is directly related to the intensity of the sound waves, which determines the loudness of the sound. So, a higher amplitude results in a louder volume.
What gets bigger as it breaks?
The dawn, and the area covered by ice-floes.
What happens when sound gets louder?
It means that the amplitude of the soundwaves is increased, or is increasing if the sound continues to get louder.
What happens the sound of a train whistle as the train approaches and then passed you?
It gets louder and then gets quieter

In general as the energy of a sound wave increases?
the sound gets louder
What happens to the volume of a sound as the amplitude gets louder?
As the amplitude of a sound increases, the volume perceived by our ears also increases. This is because amplitude is directly related to the intensity of the sound waves, which determines the loudness of the sound. So, a higher amplitude results in a louder volume.
How do you think the wave from a loud sound compares to the wave from a soft sound?
The amplitude (The height of the wave) of the wave increases as the sound gets louder.
What happens when a resonator is removed?
The vehicle will sound louder.
What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
What happen to the sound when the amplitude change?
It gets louder or quieter.
What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
