Diagram of Soft sound : 1 Mark
Diagram of Loud sound : 1 Mark

The loudness or softness of a sound is determined basically by its amplitude. The amplitude of the sound wave depends upon the force with which an object is made to vibrate. If we strike a table lightly, we hear a soft sound because we produce a sound wave of less energy (amplitude). Conversly, a loud sound has a large amplitude.
