Higher notes have higher frequencies. A typical tuning fork
vibrates at 440 Hertz. That's the tone of the A above middle-C on a
piano. The A one octave higher is 880 Hz (2 x 440 Hz). The A one
octave above that is 1760 Hz (2 x 880 Hz). The A below middle-C is
220 Hz (440 Hz ÷ 2), the next lower A is 110 Hz, and so on. The
lowest note on a piano is 27½ Hz, and the highest is 4186 Hz.
