Intensity and Loudness • The intensity of a sound is the time rate at which sound energy flows through a unit area normal to the direction of propagation.
Loudness • The loudness of a sound depends on an auditory intensity in the consciousness of a human listener.
Similarity • An increase in the intensity of a sound of fixed frequency causes it to seem louder to the listener.
Difference • Intensity of a sound can be directly measured by instruments but loudness cannot as it depends on the listener.
