What is different between loudness and intensity?

Loudness of sound: Loudness is that characteristic of sound by which we can distinguish between a loud and a faint sound.It depends upon amplitude, area of vibrating body, intensity and condition of ear. Intensity of sound: Sound energy flowing per second through a unit area held perpendicularly to the direction of sound waves is called the intensity of sound.Its unit is W/m2.
