Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amplitude of sound waves is directly related to the loudness or volume of the sound. If humans could not detect differences in amplitude, they would not be able to perceive differences in loudness. Pitch is related to the frequency of the sound waves, timbre to the quality or color of the sound that makes it unique, and saturation is not a standard term used in the context of sound perception.
