Shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies makes high pitched sounds.
Take a rubber band and cut part of it; hold it between your fingers and stretch it slightly; strum it. You will hear a low sound. Pull it tighter, and strum it. It moves faster, and the sound is higher.
Low frequencies sounds low. Thus the slower movement of the rubber band. Higher frequencies are faster.
^v^v^v^v^v^v^v <--High frequency
^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^- <-- lower frequency
The "frequency" is talking about how frequent, or often, the waves are. The more waves in a space, the faster, and thus, higher the sound will be.

Can you hear high pitched or lower pitched sounds better underwater?
high pitched better not
Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?
Low-pitched sounds have a lower frequency.
How are low-pitch sounds different from high-pitched sounds?
Low pitched sounds have a low frequency. Higher sounds have high frequency, that is the number of waves passing a point per second is greater.
Are high pitched sounds loud or soft?
No, pitch is how high or low a sound is loud and soft is volume
What makes high frequency sounds?
There are far too many things to name them all, and also it depends upon your definition of high pitched. Generally, something that is vibrating at a fast rate will cause a high pitched sound, such as the reed of a clarinet. The faster it vibrates as air is blown into the instrument, the higher pitched noise it will emit. The particles that vibrate perpendicular to direction of sound produces high frequency sounds.

What mammal makes sounds people cant hear?
