  2. Loudness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness

    The horizontal axis shows frequency in Hertz. In acoustics, loudness is the subjective perception of sound pressure.More formally, it is defined as the "attribute of auditory sensation in terms of which sounds can be ordered on a scale extending from quiet to loud". [1]

  4. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound is defined as "(a) Oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., propagated in a medium with internal forces (e.g., elastic or viscous), or the superposition of such propagated oscillation.

  5. Sonority hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonority_hierarchy

    For example, pronouncing the vowel [a] will produce a louder sound than the stop [t], so [a] would rank higher in the hierarchy. However, grounding sonority in amplitude is not universally accepted. [2] Instead, many researchers refer to sonority as the resonance of speech sounds. [2]

    Some instruments are naturally louder than others – for instance, a tuba playing mezzo-piano will likely be louder than a guitar playing forte, while a high-pitched instrument like the piccolo playing in its upper register can sound loud even when its actual decibel level is lower than that of other instruments.

  7. A new study has uncovered a tiny fish species’s ability to produce a huge sound. Danionella cerebrum is 10 to 12 millimeters, or about 0.4 to about 0.5 inches, long and lives in shallow, murky ...

  8. Hyperacusis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperacusis

    A setback is a temporary exacerbation of symptoms, a worsening of the perception of loudness or pain from sound, often due to a particular noise exposure. [12] Setback prevention is an important focus among those affected. Efforts to avoid setbacks commonly include using hearing protection and avoiding loud noises. [17]

  9. Masking threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masking_Threshold

    Masking threshold within acoustics (a branch of physics that deals with topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound), refers to a process where if there are two concurrent sounds and one sound is louder than the other, a person may be unable to hear the soft sound because it is masked by the louder sound.
