There are many factors that contribute to the perceived volume of a sound. These include characteristics of the sound itself as well as the conditions in the environment and the disposition of the one who hears the sound. In some cases, two sounds of different intensities can be perceived as the same volume due to these conditions.
I suggest you start your research by searching for words like "volume", "sound intensity" and "acoustics". This is a fascinating area of research.
