The intensity of a sound is determined by the rate and density of energy transfer. The larger the amplitude, the greater the intensity, and the louder the sound.
Examples: frequency, intensity, wavelength.
Speed of Sound and frequency
The loudness of a sound depends on the amount of energy it takes to make the sound and the distance from the source of the sound
The speed of sound is slower at higher altitudes because the air temperature is lower. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound. It is your perception of the energy of a sound. What two factors affect the loudness of a sound
how hard the surfaces push to gether the types of surfaces involved
The intensity of a sound is determined by the rate and density of energy transfer. The larger the amplitude, the greater the intensity, and the louder the sound.
Reverberation time, loudness, Focusing, interference, echo, echelon effect, resonance, noise
Examples: frequency, intensity, wavelength.
Intensity and duration
Temperature and pressure are two factors.
distance and time, determines speed.
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.
The density is the mass divided by the volume.
Dominant and recessive
Speed of Sound and frequency
Arrival time and intensity difference. Due to the different spacial positioning and orientation of the ears, a sound wave will arrive at each ear at slightly different times and with slightly different intensity. For example, if a sound originates to the right of a person, the sound will reach the right ear first and the right ear will experience a greater intensity. These very small differences are integrated in the nervous system and are manifested as the ability to localize sound.
The intensity of sound is measured in a unit called the decibel (dB), which describes the relative intensity of a sound based on an algorithmic decibel scale containing values ranging from 0 to 194. A zero value on the decibel scale represents the weakest sound audible to humans and sound intensity increases in correspondence with numeric values, the relationship among the values on the decibel scale is not linear but algorithmic. Here is an example of the decibel scale http://www.explainthatstuff.com/soundlevelmeters.html
