📚 Topic Summary
Sound is all around us, and it has different properties that make each sound unique. Loudness refers to how strong or intense a sound is, while softness describes a sound that is quiet and gentle. Pitch, on the other hand, describes how high or low a sound is. High-pitched sounds are often sharp and piercing, while low-pitched sounds are deep and booming.
