A higher amplitude or greater energy in sound waves makes pitch louder. The intensity or volume of the sound wave determines its loudness.

Can a low-pitched sound be louder than a high-pitched one?

Yes, a low-pitched sound can be louder than a high-pitched sound if the low-pitched sound has a higher intensity or volume level. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, while the loudness is determined by its amplitude. So, it is possible for a low-pitched sound to be louder than a high-pitched sound based on these factors.


When you turn up the tv so you can hear better are you changing the pitch?

No, you are amplifying the digital signal, making the TV sound louder. If you changed the pitch, you alter the frequency of the waves, either faster or slower. If you increased the frequency, the TV would sound like something from Alvin and the Chipmunks. If you lowered the frequency, it would sound like a really big, slow-talking man.


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".


Which property of the wave makes it louder - high amplitude or high frequency?

High amplitude makes a sound wave louder. Amplitude is the measure of the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. In the case of sound waves, higher amplitude corresponds to louder volume.


What property of the sound waves changed to produce the louder volume?

Well, the sound waves get bigger due to increase in volume, but the pitch does not changes, the waves themselves in real life get louder and therefore harder to absorb
