AB  - Every sound has a loudness recognized by hearing mechanism. Although loudness is a sensation measure, it is a function of sound signal properties. However, the function is not completely clear. In this paper we show that loudness determination as a function of effective mean square (RMS), peak, and average values of a sound signal is possible with an artificial neural network (ANN). We did not access to experimental data, so we produced required data using ITU-R BS.1770 model to train the network. The results show that the loudness can be simply estimated using sound signal physical features and without referring to complex hearing mechanism.
