Question

how loudness differs with the person

Answer 1

Loudness depends on the hearing range of the person. The loudness also depends on the person's hearing ability.

Answer 2

Loudness differs with the person because;

• Loudness is a characteristic feature of sound.
• Loudness varies with the variations in the sound.
• It is defined from the receiver's end, which means loudness for a person is the amount of sound that person hears.
• It is related to the sound wave's amplitude.
• Higher the amplitude, the higher the sound energy, and hence, the higher the intensity. This makes the sound appear louder.
• Similarly, the lesser the amplitude, the lesser the energy, and hence, the lower intensity resulting in lower sound.
• The intensity of the sound each person produces is different.
• Loudness is the strength of the sound waves and it will differ according to the person's ability to hear them.
