Solution

The intensity or loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of vibration, or how much the sounding body vibrates.
A sound becomes louder as the amplitude of vibration rises, and as the distance from the source increases, the intensity decreases.
Hence, the amplitude of vibration determines the loudness of the sound heard.
