Loudness is the primary psychological correlate of intensity.
When the intensity of a sound increases, loudness increases.
However, there exists no simple one-to-one correspondence between
loudness and intensity; loudness can be changed by modifying the
frequency or the duration of the sound, or by adding background
sounds. Loudness also changes with the listener 's cognitive state.
Loudness provides a basic reference for graduate students,
consultants, clinicians, and researchers with a focus on recent
discoveries. The book begins with an overview of the conceptual
thinking related to the study of loudness, addresses issues related
to its measurement, and later discusses the physiological effects
of loud sounds, reaction times and electrophysiological measures
that correlate with loudness. Loudness in the laboratory, loudness
of steady-state sounds and the loudness of time-varying sounds are
also covered, as are hearing loss and models.
