In an empty room, the sound is mostly just bounced around. When more things are placed in the room, they provide more ability to absorb sound and reflect in different directions such that it actually has to take a longer path to get from one place to another (zig zag instead of straight path) with the consequent attenuation of the intensity of the sound. Mostly though it's the absorption of the sound by the stuff you fill the room with.
If a room has things like soft chairs, sofas, beds, etc, they serve to absorb some of the sound waves.
What else can I help you with?
Does sound get louder when traveling over water?
Sound can travel faster and further over water compared to air, but it does not necessarily get louder. The sound intensity can remain the same, with the medium affecting how far the sound can travel and how well it can be heard.
How does amplification affect sound?
Amplification increases the strength or power of a sound signal, making it louder without changing its fundamental characteristics. This process allows the sound to be heard over longer distances or in louder environments. However, excessive amplification can introduce distortion and affect the quality of the sound.
A region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel?
A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit sound waves, so no sound can be heard.
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 two properties of a sound gets louder?
The two properties of a sound that get louder are its amplitude, which determines the volume or intensity of the sound, and its energy level, which increases as the sound becomes louder.
When you empty the recycle bin no sound heard?
No, when you empty the recycle bin you should here a sound.

Why do you hear all the sounds produced in the universe?
You don't. For a start, sound doesn't travel through empty space, so a sound produced on our Sun, for example, can't be heard here on Earth.You don't.

What is the sound like in bass concert halls?
In bass concert halls, the sound is amplified by the size of the open empty room. The sound reverberates off the walls to make it sound louder and deeper than it really is.
Why can a supernova be seen in outerspace but not heard?
Because empty space cannot propagate sound.

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".

Why does the smallest string instrument have the largest bow and the largest string instrument use the smallest bow?
So that the sound can be heard louder
Does the sound on a tuning fork get louder if you hit it harder?
It does get louder! It increases the amplitude of the sound wave
How does turning up a stereo increase the volume if the sound heard?
Turning up a stereo increases the electrical signal being sent to the speakers, which in turn vibrates the speaker cones more vigorously, producing louder sound waves. This amplifies the volume of the sound heard.
