OK. I'm not trying to be a pain here so please bear with me as I wrestle with the correct terminology (I do get the mechanics). If we hammer on a string that is not connected to a soundboard we hardly hear it. When we do couple it to a soundboard the energy output can actually damage our hearing. How is that reconciled with either no new energy is created or the output of energy is not increased when we consider sound as a form of energy. Isn't there such a thing as a mechanical amplifier?
