I'm not sure what you mean by 'old days'. A was assigned 440Hz as a standard as recently as 1945, and at that time pitch standards included Tuning Forks, tuned bars, and instruments like the Stroboconn (produced by Conn's Experimental Laboratory in 1936.) Before that time, A was assigned the frequency 438Hz or 435Hz, and prior to that assignment A wasn't a specified frequency. (There are flutes, for example, from the 18th century with up to seven center-sections so the flutist could adjust his pitch to match the local 'standard' over a very large range!)
During the renaissance and early baroque periods, A was simultaneously maintained at two different pitches, which were about a minor third apart, depending on where the music was played, one pitch for church, another for chamber music.
Generally, we now use A=440 for renaissance music, A=415 for baroque music and A=392 for some french baroque music. Some HIP groups use even more pitch standards, either with different instruments for each pitch standard or with much retuning!
As for how frequency was determined, we have tuning forks from as far back as the 1600's, and pitch pipes from before that. Generally, a pipe cut to a given length will resonate at a given frequency regardless of its diameter or the device that makes the air in it vibrate (Flute/fipple or reed). So once a length of a pitch-standard pipe is determined, more can be made without regard to numerical cycles-per-second, and then tuned to one standard by adjustment until the beats go away. Likewise, tuning forks can be made and tuned to a standard. Like most standards in the "old days", someone decided what the standard would be, and everyone else was expected to match it.
The determination of A=435, A=438 and finally A=440 was made by increasingly-international committees in a time (the 19th and 20th centuries) when technology was up to measuring frequency with some considerable accuracy, and the advent of the electronic counter with an oven-controlled crystal clock made measuring frequency with high accuracy possible. It is worth noting that this technology is the same that is used for determining time accurately.
There are four elements of sound. These elements are pitch, timbre, duration and intensity. Timbre is the quality of sound, pitch is a tone from a number of vibrations per second, intensity is volume, and duration is length.
will vibrate at a set frequency to produce a musical tone when struck. The vibrations produced can be used to assess a person's ability to hear various sound frequencies.
Change your strings every few days.
The amount of water put in determines what the pitch/tone is. See, sound is made by vibrations. The amount of water put in adds dampening to the vibrations, making it deeper.The xylophone is a percussion instrument and it works when you tap it and when you hear a soud it's starting to get low and higher sounds.=)

TONE
Subsonic signals are sounds or vibrations that have a frequency lower than that which may be heard by the human ear as a discernable tone. Vibrations lower than 30 Hz (30 cycles per second) are considered subsonic.
There are four elements of sound. These elements are pitch, timbre, duration and intensity. Timbre is the quality of sound, pitch is a tone from a number of vibrations per second, intensity is volume, and duration is length.
The pads of a saxophone close tone holes on the main body, making the vibrations caused by the reed to travel farther and therefore, producing a lower note or tone.
When the speed of vibrations decreases, the pitch of the sound produced by the object lowers. This is because the frequency of the vibrations decreases as well. As a result, the sound becomes deeper or lower in tone.
if you say it to him long enough, he'll get it. Yes this depends on how much you say it to him, eventually he will become accustomed to the tone and vibrations.
The change of the tone is according to the position of the word in the phrase and other words' tones. There are two common kinds of change:the first one is from the third tone+the third tone to the second tone+the third tone, such as the phrase舞蹈. And the second one is from the third tone+other tones to the semi- third tone+other tones, such as小心,假装 and so on.
xani in Chinese mandarin does not exist.however, three similar words exist: 1- 嫌疑 pronounced , second (rising) tone and second (rising) tone, which means 2- 现役 pronounced , fourth (falling) tone and fourth (falling) tone, which means 3- 闲逸 pronounced , second (rising) tone and fourth (falling) tone, which means
The tone marks for Pinyin are: 1st tone: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū 2nd tone: á, é, í, ó, ú 3rd tone: ǎ, ě, ǐ, ǒ, ǔ 4th tone: à, è, ì, ò, ù
Haha i would probably say that it is not very helpfull not teing the tone so u can figure it out yourself

A forced vibration is due to an applied force. A tone consisting of a fundamental and a overtone, may be said to be complex
