Sound Intensity Perception

Sound intensity perception refers to how we perceive the loudness of sounds. It's not just about the actual volume measured in decibels; our ears and brain interpret sound intensity based on various factors, including frequency and duration. Psychoacoustics studies this relationship, revealing that our perception can vary significantly between different pitches and sounds. For instance, a sound that is physically loud may not feel as intense if it’s at a frequency our ears are less sensitive to. Overall, our experience of sound is complex, influenced by both the physical properties of the sound and our individual hearing capabilities.
