No, sound is a wave, all waves have a frequency. The frequency is how many waves pass by a certain point in 1 second. Sound is a longitudinal wave.

Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
Which of these is associated with a sound's loudness?
Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. also sound wave amplitude
What is the frequency of the ultrasound compared to the sound?
Ultrasound cannot be heard as it has a higher frequency than audible sound, with a frequency above 20000Hz.
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.
Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?
Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
Does the human voice contains only one frequency of sound at a time?
no
Which characteristic of sound depends upon frequency?
frequency is the pitch of a sound
What does the frequency of sound measure?
The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.
What is the frequency of a wavelength 5x10-7?
The question doesn't inform us as to what units are associated with the wavelength 5 x 10-7, whether we're talking sound or electromagnetic, and if sound, what the transmission medium is.So the only possible response is:The frequency is (speed in same units as wavelength per second) divided by (5 x 10-7)
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.
What does the pitch of a sound wave depend on?
Timbre of the sound. It is related to the frequency of the fundamental frequency and a combination of overtones.
