No; depending on how you look at it, the amplitude is how much particles move back and forth, OR how much the pressure changes, as a sound wave goes through. Other things being equal, more amplitude means more energy, but amplitude is not the only factor. Also, and once again if other things are equal, energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the amplitude.
