Sound intensity or acoustic intensity (\(I\)) is defined as the sound power \(P_a\) per unit area \(A\). The usual context is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location as a sound energy quantity.
\(I = \frac{1}{t2 - t1} \int_{t1}^{t2}i(t)dt\), where \(t1\) and \(t2\) are the starting and ending times for the integral and \(i\) is sound intensity.
