loudness

the amount of energy a sound has

loudness

A subjective term for the sensation of the intensity of a sound While intensity is a primary factor in the perception of loudness, it also is affected by frequency and duration of the stimulus

loudness

An equalization circuit used in some head units that progressively emphasizes low frequencies and sometimes high frequencies as volume is reduced; can be switchable (on, off), adjustable or automatic

loudness

The subjective sensation of the effect of amplitude or intensity It is determined partly by the number of auditory nerve fibers activated by the sound wave and partly by the number of impulses carried by each fiber The unit of measurement of subjective loudness is the sone

loudness

Physiological measure of amplitude of a sound wave; heard loudness depends on the pitch and tone color as well as amplitude

loudness

The loudness function boosts low frequencies, usually most useful at low volume levels

loudness

The amount of sound perceived by a listener; a perceptual quantity that can only be assessed with an auditory system

loudness

Perceived volume Loudness can be deceiving For example, adding distortion will make a given volume level seem louder than it actually is

loudness

tasteless showiness

loudness

Subjective sensation of the effect of amplitude or intensity It is determined partly by the number of auditory nerve fibers activated by the sound wave and partly by the number of impulses carried by each fiber The unit of measurement of subjective loudness is the "sone "

loudness

A listener's auditory impression of the strength of a sound The average deviation above and below the static value due to sound wave is called sound pressure The energy expended during the sound wave vibration is called intensity and is measured in intensity units Loudness is the physical resonance to sound pressure and intensity

loudness

The sensation that depends principally on the intensity of sound waves reaching the ear

loudness

the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction); "the kids played their music at full volume"

loudness

= The subjective judgment of intensity of a sound by humans Loudness depends upon the sound pressure and frequency of the stimulus Over much of the frequency range it takes about a threefold increase in sound pressure (a tenfold increase in acoustical energy, or, 10 dB) to produce a doubling of loudness

loudness

The human ranking of an auditory sensation, usually in terms ranging from soft to loud, expressed in sones (not in deciBels)

loudness

Attribute of auditory sensation corresponding to intensity Sounds can be ordered on a loudness scale from quiet to loud

loudness

{i} condition or quality of being loud; noisiness; vociferousness; vulgarity, poor taste

loudness

- Boosts the very high and very low frequency sounds at lower volume levels to give a natural sound balance

loudness

The quality or state of being loud

loudness

– 1) How loud something sounds to the ear 2) Causing equal volume changes at all frequency ranges including frequency response changes at lower operating levels to compensate for the Fletcher Munson effect

loudness

the physical strength of the sound pressure level, measured in decibels

loudness

The relative volume level of sound See Section 1 9

loudness

Another term for volume

loudness

The attribute of auditory sensation in terms of which sounds may be ordered on a scale extending form soft to loud

loudness

perception or psychological impression of the intensity of sound It is determined partly by the number of auditory nerve fibers activated by the sound wave and partly by the number of impulses carried by each fiber The unit of measurement of subjective loudness is the "sone "

loudness

Subjective assessment of the "strength" of a sound, which depends on its pressure, frequency, and the timbre; loudness may be expressed in sones

loudness

loudness

A signal processing feature which compensates for the human ear's deficiencies at various listening levels 1

loudness

The perception of the strength or weakness of a sound wave resulting from the amount of pressure produced Sound waves that have more intensity or larger variations in air pressure produce louder sounds Low-intensity sound waves with smaller fluctuations in air pressure produce quieter sounds Loudness is not to be confused with amplitude Loudness refers to the human perception of sound; amplitude refers to quantifiable measurements of air pressure variations

out loud
