The Sound of Silence

Task

Research Question
How can the loudness of a sound be affected depending on objects with different density
when the frequency produced by the phone stays the same?

Hypothesis
When the object is denser, the sound will be quieter and when the object is less dense,
the sound will be louder. To prove this, according to scientific reasonings, the sound wave
transferred through particles by vibration, when the object is less dense, which mean the
particles are not too close to each other leaving big spaces in between and the vibration
will be much strong which increases the frequency and the sound will be louder. On the
other hand, if an object is more dense, which mean the particles are very close to each
other leaving very small spaces in between and small room for the vibration to take place,
which decreases the frequency and therefore the sound will be much quieter.
