no but the reason they can be heard so far away is because the sound waves travel much farther than higher pitch sound waves. Google image sound waves. since lower ones are flatter they can do this and they can penetrate through physical obstacles. for example whales communicate with low frequency sounds and thus they can talk to a fellow whale miles and miles away

When vocal cords vibrate they produce?
Sound. Vibrating vocal cords produce sound. The speed at which they vibrate determines whether the sound is high pitched or low pitched.
What is the difference from lower sound waves and higher sound waves?
Because the low note is short and the high note is hifh
Do low frequency sound waves have high pitches?
No. Low pitches.
How are earthquakes and sound waves similar?
Both involve mechanical waves. The P waves generated in earthquakes can actually be considered to be extremely low frequency sound waves.
What sort of waves make pleasant sound and unpleasant sound?
pleasant sound? softness and low pitch unpleasant sound? loudness and low pitch
What sort of waves make unpleasant sound unpleasant sound?
pleasant sound? softness and low pitch unpleasant sound? loudness and low pitch
How do vibration change the pitch of sound?
The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.The ability of humans to perceive pitch is associated with the frequency of the sound wave that impinges upon the ear. Because sound waves traveling through air are longitudinal waves that produce high- and low-pressure disturbances of the particles of the air at a given frequency, the ear has an ability to detect such frequencies and associate them with the pitch of the sound.
A low frequency sound is produced by a sound wave that?
An object vibrating relatively slowly produces sound waves that have low frequency and long wavelength.
What are waves with low frequency?
What kind of waves? Water waves? Sound waves? Low frequency water waves move the boat up and down slower. Lower frequency sond waves make a lower town, but if its too low the human ear can't hear it. Or maybe you are talking about Electric and Magnetism? You should give more info in the question. It is too general.
How does sound waves travel and produce sound?
Sound waves traveling through air are indeed longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. As sound passes through air (or any fluid medium), the particles of air donot vibrate in a transverse manner.Soundis produced when something vibrates. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate. Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
The pitch of sound depends on the sound's frequency. Frequency is basically the amount of waves the sound is producing. If there are many waves, "happen frequently", it is a high frequency. This is a high pitch. If the distance between the waves is large, it is a low frequency and a low pitch.
