📚 Topic Summary
Sound loudness, or volume, is how strong a sound feels to our ears. We measure loudness in decibels (dB). A whisper is quiet, with a low decibel level, while a rock concert is very loud, with a high decibel level. It's important to understand sound loudness to protect our ears from damage.
