Audio bit depth dictates available dynamic volume ranges

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

The difference between an agonizingly loud blast and total silence is strictly a matter of data allocation. Bit depth determines the sheer number of possible amplitude values for every single audio sample. A higher bit depth exponentially increases the available dynamic range, ensuring that a whisper doesn't disappear into static hiss and a cymbal crash doesn't clip into awful distortion.
