[CAUT] Semantics

[Delwin D Fandrich]

No, it is not. 

Sound energy--volume, if you will-- is being created by the soundboard--a
transducer--as a consequence of vibrating energy sourced in the string causing
it to physically move. Sound volume is not "being made larger or more powerful"
by the soundboard.
