A high pitch (> 2 kHz) of a pure tone will be perceived to be getting higher if its loudness is increased, whereas a low pitch (< 2 kHz) will be perceived to be going lower with increased loudness. Sometimes called "Stevens's rule" after an early investigator, this psychoacoustic effect has been extensively investigated

Pitch is how high or low a musical sound is. Contrast Michael Jackson (high) to Barry White (low).

Yes. Vibrations are sound. The pitch is the frequency of sound. They are one in the same.

How does sound affect frequency?

The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
