Does sound travel towards or away from the source? Does light travel towards or away from the source?

Yes, sound waves always travel away from the source in all directions.
No, sound waves can only travel away from the source due to the way they propagate through the medium.
No, the loudness of a sound does not affect the direction of travel. It only determines the intensity or strength of the sound wave.
When sound waves reach the source, they may reflect, refract, or be absorbed depending on the properties of the medium and the shape of the source.
The direction of sound can be difficult to determine in open spaces, but can be easier in enclosed spaces where sound may echo or reflect off of surfaces.
