What determines how loud your voice is?

The loudness of sound is determined, in turn, by the intensity, or amount of energy, in sound waves. The unit of intensity is the decibel (dB). Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.

What makes voices louder or softer?

When you pluck a string gently, the sound will be softer because you have transferred less energy to the string.

Why do I talk loud on the phone?

It’s a pretty simple explanation, actually. Household telephones, or landlines, have a microphone in the receiver that amplifies your voice into the ear piece. When you talk into a landline, your voice is captured and replayed through the ear piece, so you hear your own voice loud and clear.

We can also do it using the normalize volume option but the compressor’s better. So, how do we fix the loud action and sound effects vs the soft-spoken low volume dialogue?
