Why do certain songs sound louder than others even when they’re played at the same volume?
In: Technology
Volume is not the same as loudness. There’s several ways to measure sound levels, peak measurements deal with the loudest points, and then there are special algorithms that measure average levels, which are much more accurate at measuring loudness. You can have the same volume playing two different source materials which have been processed differently, and you’ll hear them having different loudness, despite the volume in your amplifiers being the same.
