The pitch of sound is affected by all of these things.The amplitude,the frequency, and the loudness.

The pitch of sound is also affected by the length and width of the vessel producing the sound, e.g. pipes.

Does the temperature of water affect the pitch of sound?

Presumably you mean sound traveling through water. Temperature affects the density of water, therefore the speed of sound in water, and pitch is frequency, so yes, temperature affects pitch.


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 is a sound wave increases the what of the sound increases?

Along with amplitude, being one of the key measurements of sound, the frequency of a sound wave affects the perceived pitch of the sound. As the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher.


What happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?

It is less loud. Frequency affects what we hear as pitch. Amplitude affects volume.


What part of wave affects the pitch of a wave?

The "pitch" of the sound is determined by its frequency.(It would be much more elegant to call that a "characteristic"or a "property" of the sound, not a "part" of it.)


What does the freqency of a sound wave affect?

The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.


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 is the type of pitch produced when a loud objects has passed you?

When a loud object such as a train passes you, there is what is officially known as the Doppler Effect, by which the sound has a higher pitch as the object approaches, and a lower pitch as it passes. The speed of the object, whether approaching or receding, affects the wavelength of the sound.


When was Sound Affects created?

Sound Affects was created on 1980-11-28.


What wave characteristics affects the loudness of a sound?

A wave form consists of a frequency and an amplitude. Sound pitch becomes higher (or more squeaky) with a higher frequency. The volume of sound becomes louder with a higher amplitude.


How does changing the length of the straw effect the pitch of the sound?

the lenngth of the staw affects it because in different sizes there is low or high pichtes depending on the size it is creates a low or high pitch


How are frequency and sound related?

The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of a sound. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound. On a piano, the pitch A4 (A above "middle C") will produce a soundwave with a frequency of 440 Hz. The pitch A3 (A an octave below A4) will have a frequency of 220 Hz. The frequency of A5 (A an octave above A4) is 880Hz. "Midde C," or C4, has a frequency of approximately 262 Hz.
