Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The intensity of the sound waves is inversely proportional to the distance from the source. Intensity is the energy that passes through the unit area. If we increase the distance, the area covered by the same energy is also increased. Hence, the loudness of sound decreases. Therefore, the loudness increases when the distance from the source of the sound wave decreases.
