Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The loudness of a sound is directly related to the amplitude of the vibrations that produced it. The pitch of a sound is directly related to its frequency, with higher frequency sounds being perceived as higher pitch. The timbre of a sound is directly related to its complexity, with more complex sounds having a greater variety of harmonics. Therefore, the order should be amplitude, frequency, and complexity, which corresponds to choice C.
