How is the loudness of sound measured?

  • In amplitudes (A)
  • In kilohertz (kHz)
  • In decibars (db)
  • In decibels (dB) (correct)
  • What is the relationship between striking a drum hard and the loudness of the sound produced?

  • Striking the drum hard decreases the energy of the sound waves, leading to greater loudness.
  • Striking the drum hard increases the energy of the sound waves, leading to greater loudness. (correct)
