I missed one, I think it was the one about sound volume.

It was a bad question, or rather the correct answer was bad. In ocean waves the amplitude can be described as height, but in compression waves like sound there is no "height". Instead there is a ratio of the compressed density to the uncompressed density which determines loudness.

The loudness of a sound is determined by what property of a sound wave?

You correctly answered "Amplitude or height"
