Some of the aspects of the sound quality:
- Sampling rate (digital). It is the frequency of taking the snapshots of audio signal (since analog signal has infinite points in any given time range, we must take some amount of information out of it as digital storage is finite). The sampling rate is connected to harmonics (additional components of sound not present in original sound) which are artifacts of sampling. The lower the sampling rate, the bigger the harmonics are.
- Entropy (analog). For instance dust and scratches on the surface of the gramophone record or its needle while reproducing or similar on microphone during recording.
- Signal to noise ratio (analog, digital). The noise can come from variety of sources - background (ambiental) sounds, multiple mathematical round-ups (digital systems, precision, adda conversion) which can accumulate to form noticeable sound artifacts, recording material imperfection (pureness, homogenicity), etc..
- Isolation. Level of environmental effects like reverb, delay or echo. In digital systems one can synthesize artificial sounds without any of the mentioned effects but in nature no sound can be entirely isolated from its environment. If the thing that I am interested in recording is for instance speech, big reverb will influence perceived quality of the sound.
- Compression (digital). Today we have all sorts of sound compression - mp3, mp4, ape, ogg, mac, flac, wv, etc... Those can be separated into loosless and non-loosless codecs. The later will remove certain components of the original sound which is then lost (for instance higher frequencies are usual targets as human ear tend to hear less of them as it ages, which means that age also influences perceived sound quolity).

What characteristics of sound determines how far can sound travel before dying out?
Quality
What are the components of sound waves?
Frequency and amplitude. Source: New Perspectives on HTML and CSS Comprehensive by Patrick Carey.
Is 4000w speaker has good sound?
The sound quality isn't determined by the amount of power it can handle, in this case, 400 watts. What determines the sound quality of the speaker is the design of the speaker itself.
On what factors quality of sound depend for sound created by mechanical vibrations?
The quality of sound created by mechanical vibrations depends on factors such as frequency, amplitude, and harmonic content. The frequency determines the pitch, the amplitude affects loudness, and the harmonic content influences the timbre or tonal quality of the sound. Additionally, the resonance of the vibrating object and any damping effects also play a role in shaping the quality of the sound produced.
What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
What determines the loudness of sound waves?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
Is pitch the quality of being a high or low sound?
Yes, pitch is the quality of sound that determines whether it is perceived as high or low. It is determined by the frequency of sound waves, with higher frequencies creating higher pitch sounds and lower frequencies creating lower pitch sounds.
What amplitude does for sound?
It determines how loud or soft the sound is.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
The spectrum of sound is made up of a fundamental and?
a series of overtones, which are multiples of the fundamental frequency. These overtones give each sound its unique timbre or tone quality. The combination of the fundamental and overtones determines the overall sound of an instrument or voice.
What determines the pich of sound?
The pich of a sound is the perception of its freqency.
