Best Answer

Yes. The first overtone is one octave above the first note, The next overtone is a fifth above that. The volume of each overtone creates the timbre of the sound. Is it a Flute that has evenly decreasing sound overtones or is it an Oboe with different volumes of overtones?

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.
