The pitch of sound decreases and the speed of sound will increase. These effects are because of the increased density of the medium.
This applies to most materials: only in rare occasions does the density of a material decrease with a decrease in temperature (iron, when it changes temperature at some points, for example), resulting in the opposite effect (ask for the opposite).
If the temperature goes down, the pitch of woodwind instruments go down too, but the pitch of string instruments go up.

∙ 13y agoWhat we perceive as the volume of a sound wave is actually a function of the amplitude of the sound at each instant.
When the amplitude decreases, so does our perception of the volume and we perceive the sound as quieter.

What happens to the thermal energy of an object as temperature decreases as it increases?
it decreases because when an object is moving as the temperature decreases the object decreases
What heat flows out of an object what happens to the temperature?
Temperature decreases.
When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?
frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases
Sound intensity decreases when what decreases?
Sound intensity decreases when amplification (volume) decreases.
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What happens to the thermal energy of an object as temperature decreases as it increases?
it decreases because when an object is moving as the temperature decreases the object decreases
What happens to a fluid when temperature decreases?
When temperature decreases, a fluid will eventually freeze and become solid
What heat flows out of an object what happens to the temperature?
Temperature decreases.
What happens to the temperature in the mesosphere?
the temperature decreases as you increase in altitude.
What happens to the temperature in the mesosphere as the altitude increase?
The temperature decreases
What happens to the temperature when a liquid becomes a gas?
The temperature decreases
What happens to the temperature vapor as it condenses?
decreases
What happens to temperature in the troposphere?
The air temperature decreases as you go higher. On the average temperature decreases about 6.5 degrees Celsius for each kilometer.
When the temperature of an object decreases what happens to the molecules?
In every liquid (with the exception of water) the molecules, when the temperature decreases, contract.
What happens to the temperature of the drink when you put ice cubes in it?
the temperature decreases
In the troposphere and mesosphere what happens to temperature as altitude increases?
The temperature decreases
When a cold front moves by a location what happens to the temperature?
The temperature decreases.
