The amplitude of a sound wave is a reflection of how much energy is carried, which contributes to the intensity of the sound. Intensity is measured in decibels and is perceived as sound volume. Thus, the volume is proportional to the amplitude of the sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is perceived as pitch.
