The large vibration produces more displacement of the hair cells and a larger change in potential inside these cells. Thus loudness is encoded by the frequency of action potentials that travel down a particula ...

Sound
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as a typically audible mechanical wave of pressure and displacement, through a medium such as air or water. In physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain.
