Does a note with a frequency of 440 vibration per sec sounds at a higher pitch than a note at 220 vibration per sec?

Yes. Both frequencies are actually A (La) but an octave apart. The mentioned 440Hz will be the A4 (5th A on a 88 key piano) while the fourth A on the piano sounds at 220Hz.

The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
The rate of vibration of sound waves is called?
The rate of vibration is called the frequency.
What is relationship between sound and frequency?
The relationship is direct and linear, The higher the frequency the higher the pitch.
What could an observable change in sounds when the frequency change?
The so-called pitch of the sound would change. A sound with a higher frequency is said to have a higher pitch.
How do you get different pitches?
By changing the frequency of the vibration. High frequency = high pitch. Low frequency = low pitch.
How does human produce loud sounds?
By vibration of vocal chords.. High frequency of vibration/low pitch = sweet sound Low frequency of vibration/high pitch = harsh sound High amplitude = loud sound
Why do some sounds have a low pitch while others have a high pitch?
Since our ears recognize any type of pitch as a vibration the more vibration the higher the pitch less vibration lower the pitch.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?

How do frequency change the pitch of a sound?
Pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound. It is one of the three major auditory attributes of sounds along with loudness and timbre.
What musical property is established by frequency?
The frequency of a sound is what determines the pitch. A greater frequency (a faster vibration of the air) corresponds to a higher pitch, while a small frequency is what we hear as a low sound.
The rate of vibration of sound waves is called?
The rate of vibration is called the frequency.
What is relationship between sound and frequency?
The relationship is direct and linear, The higher the frequency the higher the pitch.
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
What physical property makes different types of sounds different?
Higher frequency, higher pitch.
What is the relationship between frequency and pitch of a sound?
Higher the frequency, higher the pitch. Doubling a frequency raises pitch by one (musical) octave. Many people can hear sounds at frequencies between 20 Hz and 16kHz.
How are high-frequency sounds different from low-frequency?
Their wavelengths are shorter, and they are perceived as having higher pitch.
What could an observable change in sounds when the frequency change?
The so-called pitch of the sound would change. A sound with a higher frequency is said to have a higher pitch.
