The loudness of sound is measured in decibels
The sound amplitude is the maximum height of the sound wave above the axis. Therefore, amplitude determines the loudness of the sound

Decibel(dB) is the unit of loudness. We know that loudness is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the sound. So, if the amplitude of the sound wave is large, the sound is loud.
