Answer
loudness decreases
Reason — Loudness is proportional to the square of the amplitude i.e.,
Loudness ∝ (amplitude) 2
So, when a body vibrates with a lesser amplitude, it sends forth a smaller amount of energy.
Hence, the energy received by the ear drum is also small, so the loudness of the sound decreases.
