Explanation: Loudness is a subjective characteristic of a sound (as opposed to the sound-pressure level in decibels, which is objective and directly measurable). Perceived loudness of sound is a psycho-acoustic quantity that depends on sound pressure level, the frequency spectrum, and the time behavior of the sound in question. |
