What happen as the frequency of a sound wave increase?

The frequency of a sound wave increases because either the object making the sound is getting closer to you, or you are getting closer to it. Frequency tells you how many complete sound waves are produced in a certain amount of time (usually a second). As you get closer, the sound waves don't have to travel so far to reach you, so you hear them more often or more frequently; i.e., from your perspective, the frequency increases. Our brains interpret higher frequencies as higher pitched sounds.When the frequency of a sound wave increases, so does it's pitch In other words, you would hear a higher tone.
