Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure.

The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.

How do you use decibel and loudness in the same sentence?

Decibel is a unit used to measure the intensity of a sound, while loudness refers to the perception of sound intensity by the human ear. For example, a concert may have a high decibel level, resulting in a loudness that can be uncomfortable for the audience.


Is amplitude the same as how loud something is?

No, amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position, while loudness is a subjective perception of sound intensity. Loudness is influenced by factors like amplitude, frequency, and distance from the sound source.


Define the following terms loudness intensity pitch?

Loudness is the same thing as volume. It refers to the amplitude of a sound wave. Pitch is the quality of a sound where it sounds "high" or "low", as a "high-pitched squeal" or a "low-pitched rumble". It refers to the frequency of the sound wave. Intensity refers to the power of a wave.


What is the relation between loudness and frequency of sound?

From what I know from highschool/early university simple harmonic motions, I believe that there is no necessary link between loudness and frequency. Frequency (the number of times a wave completes an oscillation or cycle in one second) decides the pitch of the sound, while amplitude (the difference in height between the highest point in the sound wave and the lowest point) decides the loudness of the sound.


What describes sounds that have the same pitch and loudness?

Sounds that have the same pitch and loudness are described as having the same frequency and amplitude. This results in the sounds having a consistent tone and volume.

What is the relaationship between loudness and sound intensity?

Loudness is the colloquial term and intensity is the scientific term. More the intensity higher the loudness. Same way in case of light, higher the intensity of radiation, we call colloquially that as more brightness.


When intensity increases does the loudness stay the same?

No. Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.

As sound intensity increases you hear the sound as a louder sound at the same pitch this suggest what?

There we got: Subjectivly sensed loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power). Scroll down to related links and study: "Dependance of sound levels and the corresponding factors".


Why are pitch and frequency similar to loudness and intensity?

sound has properties of loudness and pitch. The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of vibration. A speaker making a loud sound moves back and forth more than a speaker making a soft sound. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of vibration. A speaker making a high pitched sound like a siren vibrates with a higher frequency than the same speaker making a low pitched sound like thunder

What is pitch loudness and quality?

Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is, measured in hertz. Loudness is the perceived volume of a sound, determined by the intensity of the sound waves. Quality, also known as timbre, refers to the unique characteristics of a sound that enable us to distinguish between different sources, such as a piano and a trumpet playing the same note.


Loudness is a vector?

No. Loudness is a scalar quantity. It lacks a vector or direction. Be sure not to confuse this by applying personal experience. Follow along. You are stationary. You hear a sound. You don't move when you hear it. It has some "apparent loudness" as you experienced it. It stops. You turn your head in the direction you think it came from and hold your head still. The sound starts again at the same level it was. It sounds louder to you because you are now facing the source. But it isn't actually louder. You hear better because you are facing the source. This does not mean the loudness has a vector associated with it. It does not.


How do you use the words loudness and decibel in the same sentence?

The loudness of the radio was measured at a high decibel level by the council authorities.
