Sound is measured in Decibels. This is judged based on the human hearing. You can use a decibel meter to detect how loud a sound is.

Which tells you how loud a sound is?

The intensity of a sound wave determines how loud a sound is perceived. Intensity is measured in decibels (dB), with higher dB levels indicating louder sounds. The human ear's sensitivity to different frequencies also affects our perception of sound volume.

How are vibrations from a loud sound diffErent to those from a soft sound?

Vibrations from a loud sound have higher amplitudes and frequencies compared to those from a soft sound. This means that the loud sound will have more intense and faster vibrations that can be felt more strongly.


Which relation is there between wavelength and height?

There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.


What animals are loud?

What is the intensity of a sound half as loud as 60dB?

If a sound is half as loud as 60dB, its intensity will be 3 decibels less. Therefore, a sound half as loud as 60dB will have an intensity level of 57dB.
