Question
What happens to the loudness of a sound if the amplitude decrease

The loudness of a sound is closely related to its amplitude. Loudness is generally perceived to increase with an increase in amplitude. When the amplitude of a sound wave decreases, the loudness of the sound also decreases. This is because lower amplitude means that the sound wave has less energy, resulting in a quieter sound.
In more quantitative terms, the relationship between amplitude and perceived loudness is not linear; a change in amplitude can result in a change in loudness that can be measured in decibels (dB). Specifically, a decrease in amplitude corresponds to a decrease in loudness, which can be perceived subjectively as significant even with relatively small changes in amplitude.
