   Loudness
   A subjective term for the sensation of the magnitude of sound. Generally a 10dB increase in sound pressure level is perceived as a doubling of subjective loudness. At low frequencies (20Hz to 200Hz) an increase of as little as 5-6 dB is perceived as a two-fold increase in the subjective loudness. See also: Phon, Sound Pressure Level, Zwicker Loudne...

   `Loudness` is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude). Loudness, a subjective measure, is often confused with objective measures of sound pressure such as decibels or intensity. Filters such as A-weighting attempt to adjust sound measurements to correspond to loudness as perceived by the average human. However, true perceived loudness varies from person to person and cannot be measure...
