Answer 2

False, the loudness of sound is not measured in hertz.

In fact, it is estimated in decibels.

Explanation:

The human hearing range also called the audible range depends upon two factors:

• The pitch of the sound.

• The loudness of the sound.

The measuring unit for the pitch is Hertz (Hz) and the measuring unit for sound is decibels (dB). The human hearing range is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz beyond which, it is harmful for our ears and can even cause deafness. The loudness range that is most suitable for humans is 0 dB and the sounds beyond 85 dB can be very harmful to us.
