Power is a physical measure of an audio signal, proportional to the square of its amplitude.  One can also specify or measure a physical sound’s total power flux through a fixed area in space,  which also varies continuously.  Power may be averaged over a period of time; such an average is referred to as RMS (root mean square) power.
