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.

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.

What does the the amplitude look like for a loud sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.

What is the scream onomatopoeia for a loud and piercing sound?

The scream onomatopoeia for a loud and piercing sound is "AAAAHHH!"


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 musical notes are these Db?

Db are decibels. They are measurement of sound pressure not frequency. They are not musical notes, but their intensity. Musical notes can be measured in decibels. That just tells you how loud they are.


What is the relationship between a wave's amplitude and energy?

The energy and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy. The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be.
