Best Answer

The sound has really nothing to do with sea level, but changes with temperature alone. The speed of sound goes up when the temperature goes up and goes down when the temperature goes down. The frequency of sound columns, like of woodwinds or of church organs changes with temperature. If the temperature increases, the frequency increases also.
