The amplitude of sound is measured in bells, though, more commonly, decibels. 1 decibel is the faintest whisper and 10 is the equivalent of a front row rock concert (or something along those lines).

What are sound wave amplitudes?
the amplitude of a wave is measured from the peak to trough from a given period.
What determines the volume of a sound?
Loudness is the subjective personal perception of the ears and brain of a listener. Perceived loudness varies from person to person and cannot be measured.You can measure the objective sound pressure or sound pressure level SPL but not the subjective loudness.
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
What does amplitude have to do with sound?
amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
Is sound measured in speed frequency amplitude or pitch?
All of those are properties of sound, and may be measured.
Measure of sound?
Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.
What are sound wave amplitudes?
the amplitude of a wave is measured from the peak to trough from a given period.
How loud a sound seems is determined by what measurement of the sound waves?
Loudness is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves.
When the loudness of a sound and amplitude of a sound increases the amplitude of the sound produced will be?
The loudness of a sound is the same thing as the overall amplitude of a sound. When measuring sound, in general, you have pitch (frequency) and tone (amplitude, the measure of loudness). So, if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave pattern, you increase the overall intensity of the sound (the energy), and that can be measured on the logarithmic scale of decibels, since an unconstrained, undirected sound wave carries its energy outward in all directions, in an increasing volume of air (or other medium).

What part of the wave is the amplitude?
Amplitude is the amount of deviation of a wave from the mean position , measured in Y axis when the sound waves are moving along the X axis.

what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
What do you call loudness or strength of a sound is its?
There are several words, depending on exactly what is being measured (e.g. amplitude, volume, sound pressure, decibels).
How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
