Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perceived loudness of a sound depends somewhat on frequency. This is because our ears are more sensitive to certain frequencies and less sensitive to others. So, a sound with a higher frequency may not necessarily be perceived as louder than a sound with a lower frequency even if they have the same intensity.
