The quality, or timbre, distinguishes sounds with the same pitch and loudness, with rich quality being more pleasant.

Hitting a table harder increases the force applied, resulting in a larger amplitude sound wave with greater energy, which is perceived as a louder sound.

The force applied to an object affects the amplitude of the sound wave it produces, with greater force typically resulting in larger amplitudes.

The primary aspect of sound determined by its amplitude is its loudness, with higher amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds.

In the context of sound waves, amplitude is typically measured in decibels (dB), representing the intensity or loudness of the sound.

Amplitude is typically represented by the peak value of a wave’s oscillation or displacement from its equilibrium position.

The term for the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in a wave is amplitude, representing its peak displacement from equilibrium.

Objects vibrate at different frequencies based on their size, shape, and condition, leading to variations in the pitch of the sounds they produce.

More compressions and rarefactions passing per unit time result in a higher pitch.

The frequency of the sound wave, which is related to the rate of vibration of the sound source.
