Pitch is only a componet of any sound. It represents the frequency of the sound, normally expressed in hertz (number of waves in a second). Low frequeny sounds are bass, thunder, foghorns, etc. High frequency sounds are screeches, bird whistles, breaking glass, etc. People's voices are in between high and low (normally 400 to 1000 hertz). Other components of a sound are amplitude (how energetic or loud the sound is) and wave envelope (wave shape).

∙ 15y agoFor people interested in music, pitch is how high or how low a sound is. Pitch is changed by varying the frequency of the sound waves. As the frequency increases, so does the pitch. In a sound wave, there are parts of the wave, the crest(top of wave), and the trough(bottom of the wave). Frequency is how many times a second a crest passes a certain point in space. The more that pass every second, the higher the frequency, and therefore, the higher the pitch. Hope this helps!

∙ 14y agoIf you change the frequency of a sound wave, then the pitch will change. If you change the amplitude, then the volume (or noise level) of the sound will change. They are alike in that they both alter the the way something sounds, but different in that they alter something different.

∙ 13y agoPitch and Frequency are basically the same thing, but frequency can be quantified more easily. (Quantified is assigning a value). A piano may play a pitch of C, but the frequency could be 512 hertz. C is the pitch. 512 Htz is the frequency. The relationship is that as the pitch of a sound goes up the Frequency goes up too.

∙ 12y agopitch is related to sound, without sound no pitch would be created. Sound is the core of any noise, any noise is referred to sound. A pitch is basically a frequency. certain frequencies create certain pitch. for example a high pitch would be a high frequency and a low pitch would be a low frequecny. its quite simple. Loudness is also sound, it depends how high the pitch it to make is loud or soft.

What are some ways sound sound are alike and different?
Low or high sounds
What are two sound waves with the same frequencies and different amplitudes?
Same pitch but with different loudness
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
Whose sound frequency is moremen or women?
From day to day experience it is evident that a woman's voice is more shriller i.e. it has a higher pitch. Men's voice is flat or grave i.e. it has a lower pitch. A sound( here voice) corresponding to higher pitch is of higher frequency while a sound of lower pitch corresponds to lower frequency. It is clear from this that sound frequency of women is moreNote: the pitch of a sound depends on frequency of vibrations but is different from it, as frequency is a measurable quantity while pitch is a sensation.
What causes different piches in sound?
Different pitches of sound are caused by intensity, pitch, and tone. Intensity is the amount of energy a sound has over an area. This means the same sound is more intense if you hear it in a smaller area. In general, sounds with a higher intensity are louder. Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave - high sounds have high frequencies and low sounds have low frequencies. The quality of the sound depends entirely on the combination of different frequencies of sound waves.
What is the sound-alike spelling for way?
The words 'weigh' and 'way' sound alike but have different spellings. The words 'weight' and 'wait' also sound alike but have different spellings.
How are the word interval and pitch alike?
The word pitch refers to the actual sound of the note, i.e, how high or low it is. Interval is the relation of different pitches to each other.
