Loudness can be reduced by increasing the distance of separation .
It can be reduced by decreasing the amplitude and the surface are of vibrating body .
Definition :
Loudness is the characteristic property by which can distinguish two sounds of the same frequency and pitch.
We can distinguish between a faint sound from a loud sound using the property .
Factors affecting loudness
- Loudness is directly proportional to the square of amplitude .
- Loudness is inversely proportional to the square of distances.
- Loudness is directly proportional to the surface of a vibrating body.
- Loudness is directly proportional to the density of the medium.
Loudness is measured in decibels.
A sound having more than 120 dB is considered to be a noise pollutant .
