What dod you call the property of sound that varies with the frequency of vibration?

Pitch


What musical property is established by frequency?

The frequency of a sound is what determines the pitch. A greater frequency (a faster vibration of the air) corresponds to a higher pitch, while a small frequency is what we hear as a low sound.


How you perceive frequency of sound vibration?

With your ears. The faster the vibration, the higher the frequency. A low frequency vibration will be felt more than heard.


What characteristic of sound is determined by frequency?

Vibration and rate of vibration.


What is the rate of vibration of a sound called?

Frequency


What is rate of vibration of a sound is called?

Frequency


The rate of vibration of sound waves is called?

The rate of vibration is called the frequency.


How does human produce loud sounds?

By vibration of vocal chords.. High frequency of vibration/low pitch = sweet sound Low frequency of vibration/high pitch = harsh sound High amplitude = loud sound


How do you achieve a higher pitched sound?

Increase the frequency of vibration.


Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?

No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.


What happens to a sound when its rate of vibration decreases?

It becomes a lower frequency.


What property of sound allows it to be recorded?

The vibration of air or a material.
