Little or Big refers to "little endian" or "big endian", which is just a record of how numbers comprised of several bytes are stored in memory.

Signed or Unsigned refers to whether values are represented as signed numbers (like from -128 to 127), or as unsigned (like from 0 to 255).

These are just alternate ways to represent the same data inside a file.


As far as I can tell, neither has anything to do with how loud the sound is.
