Range highness or lowness of sound waves
amplitude
intensity level of the sound waves
Frequency

Wave
Mechanical waves that pass through a pshycial medium such as air, liquids or metal.
Loudness
if the amplitude of the sound wave is large, that is considered as loud
intensity
amount of energy through an area of direction of the wave sound
Wavelength
distance between parts of a sound wave
