When something is loud, it means it makes a big noise that you can hear very clearly, like the sound of thunder in the sky or a car honking its horn. Imagine your favorite cartoon character shouting; that’s a loud sound!
Think of loud like when someone is using a megaphone. A megaphone makes a person’s voice bigger and easier to hear, even from far away. So, when something is loud, it’s like it’s using a megaphone to talk to you.
Loud can also be like a big splash in a pool. If you jump into the water with a big jump, it makes a loud splash, right? That’s because the sound is big and strong.
Sometimes, loud can be like a bright flashlight in a dark room. Just like the flashlight makes everything bright and easy to see, a loud sound makes sure everyone can hear it very well.
Loud things can be fun, like music at a party or a cheering crowd at a game. But sometimes, if it’s too loud, it can hurt our ears, like when someone bangs a pot really hard. That’s why we sometimes cover our ears when things get too loud.
