The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
It is not loudness, it is LOWness - Mythbusters did a show on that and found that low frequency noises do snuff out flames! But it is not actually the sound, but the motion of the air in the transmission of the sound.
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
The viola makes the highest sound of any string instrument.
That's the wave's frequency.
Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".

It is called "pitch."

The perceived pitch is the direct resultof the sound's high or low frequency.
It is called "pitch."
Pitch is a term used to refer to the height or lowness of a sound. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound waves. A higher pitch has a higher frequency. The noted called A that is the first A above middle C is often used as a note for tuning instruments to match each other, and has the frequency of 440Hz.
Loudness means the volume, high or low, of sound, while the pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.
The relative highness or lowness of sound is referred to as pitch. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher-pitched, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower-pitched. Sounds with the same frequency are perceived as having the same pitch.
