Sound is the physical flow of energy. Intensity tells us how "dense" the sound is in a specific point.

Professional Definition
> The amount of energy flowing per unit time through a unit area [ W/m2W/m^2W/m2

].

A vector quantity that decreases with the square of the distance from the source.

## Acoustics in Simple Words
Shower – intensity is the amount of water falling on a specific tile. The lower you hold your hand, the less water hits it.

## Summary
Links information about the power of the source and the distance. Key when determining the directionality of noise.
