The pitch of a sound means the frequency. That stays constant with distance.
You mean the sound pressure level that decreases with distance.

What happens when the pitch of a sound seems to changeas the sound source moves toward an observer?
In that situation, what happens is that the pitch of sound seems to change as the sound source moves radially with respect to the observer. When the source approaches the observer, the pitch rises, whereas if the source should recede, then the pitch would fall.
What lets you know that the source of a sound is moving toward or away from you?
When a sound-source moves toward you, its pitch gets higher and the sound gets louder. When it moves away, the pitch lowers and it gets quieter. The frequency change is called the Doppler shift.
True or false your distance from a sound source affects how loud the sound seems?
true
For a stationary observer when the source of a sound is moving its?
When the source of a sound moves, the frequency noted by the observer will change. This is an example of Doppler's law. answer: its pitch appears to change.
When does the pitch of sound change?
When the frequency of the vibrations that produce the sound change. Higher frequencies -> higher pitch. OR if the source of the sound is moving towards or away from you -> Doppler effect.
Why does the pitch of a sound change as the source of the sound that moves past you?
Decreasing velocity, and distance.
Is it true that how fast a sound source vibrates affects the pitch of the sound?
Yes, it is true that the faster a sound source vibrates the higher the pitch.
What happens when the pitch of a sound seems to changeas the sound source moves toward an observer?
In that situation, what happens is that the pitch of sound seems to change as the sound source moves radially with respect to the observer. When the source approaches the observer, the pitch rises, whereas if the source should recede, then the pitch would fall.
Which is a similarity between loudness and pitch?
There is no similarity. Loudness has to do with sound pressure amplitude coming from the sound source. Pitch has to do with the frequency of the tone the sound source is making. Loudness cannot be pitch.
What lets you know that the source of a sound is moving toward or away from you?
When a sound-source moves toward you, its pitch gets higher and the sound gets louder. When it moves away, the pitch lowers and it gets quieter. The frequency change is called the Doppler shift.
What distance is loudness of sound measured?
There is really no standard distance from the sound source where the sound pressure level (SPL) is measured.
What happens if the source of a sound is toward you at a high rate of speed?
If the source of a sound is moving towards you, then the pitch of the soundyou hear is higher than the pitch of sound that the source is actually emitting.The rate of speed doesn't matter.BTW ... this also happens if you are moving toward the source.
Decibels in ear?
Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone (at the place of your ear), from the the sound source because the closer you are to the sound source the louder it will be.The sound pressure level decreases by 6 decibels per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.
Does your distance from a sound source affect how loud the sound seems?
The sound pressure decreases with distance r in a free field (direct field). The next question is. How does the sound decrease with increasing distance? After which law? Answer: The sound pressure p diminishes with distance after the 1/r law. Sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source. The Sound pressure level (SPL) decreases by (−)6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value. Sometimes it is said, that the sound decreases with with 1/r², the inverse square law. That is really wrong. Scroll down to related links and look at "Damping of sound level with distance".
The frequency of a sound wave determines what?
The rate at which the sound source is vibrating :) --> novanet answer
A sound source of high frequency emits a high?
It emits a high pitch
How loud is 10W?
The effect of the sound pressure on your ears depends on the distance to the sound source.
