What Makes Sounds Louder Or Quieter? Loud sounds are carried by waves that have a higher amplitude (height between peak and trough) than quiet sounds. The bigger the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder it sounds to our ears. What makes sound louder and quieter? Bigger vibrations make louder sounds, and smaller vibrations make
Which Sound Wave Is The Loudest? The loudest a sustained sound can possibly be on Earth’s surface is 194 dB—which is when the amplitude of the sound wave is so intense that the low pressure part is a perfect vacuum (the wave alternates between double the normal atmospheric pressure and no air at all—not something

You cannot always see the vibrations, but if something is making a sound, some part of it is always vibrating. How is sound
How Come Dogs Hear So Much More? Dogs have better hearing than humans both because they can hear these high-frequency sounds, and they can hear sounds from farther away. This is because of the way their ears are designed. Their ears are made to cup and move sound in, similar to the way humans can
