What is the relationship between intensity and the loudness of sound?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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.

∙ 14y agoThe "loudness" of a sound is subjective, that is, it varies by the perception of the individual and cannot be measured. What is 'loud' to one person may not be to another, but increasing the amplitude will make it 'louder' to both of them.
You can measure the amplitude or sound pressure in decibels with a sound pressure level meter. Microphones and eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure. Forget the sound intensity.

∙ 11y agothe amount of soun energy passing each second through unit area is called intensity of sound
loudness is a measure of the rresponse of the ear to sound.
even though two sound are of equal intensity, we can hear one has louder than the other because our ear can detect is better.

Which is a similarity between loudness and pitch?
There is no similarity. Loudness has to do with sound pressure amplitude coming from the sound source. Pitch has to do with the frequency of the tone the sound source is making. Loudness cannot be pitch.
What is the difference between loudness and pitch of sound?
Amplitude versus frequencyLoudness is a function of the sound wave's amplitude of the sound pressure. Aour ear drums are moved by the sound pressure.The greater the amplitude, the greater the volume. Pitch is related to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.Loudness = amplitude of the sound pressureSoftest soundLoudest soundPitch = frequencyLowest pitchHighest pitch
How loud is 49dB?
L = 49 dB SPL (Sound pressure level) is a sound pressure of p = 0.005636766.The sensed loudness is a psycho acoustical quantity.
What is the highest sound intensity level allowed for previews in a movie theater?
86 dB
What is the height of a soundwave which indicates loudness of a sound?
It's the Acoustic Definition of Amplitude.The height of the sound wave is called its amplitude.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
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.
What is the relaationship between loudness and sound intensity?
Loudness is the colloquial term and intensity is the scientific term. More the intensity higher the loudness. Same way in case of light, higher the intensity of radiation, we call colloquially that as more brightness.
The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?
By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
WHAT IS The loudness of sound called?

Compare and conyrast loudness and intensity?
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.
What is loudness and softness of sound measured in?
intensity
Peoples perception of sound intensity is known as?
People's perceptions of sound intensity is known as loudness.
When intensity increases does the loudness stay the same?
No. 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.
