High pitched sounds move at the same speed as low pitched sounds. The speed of sound is instead determined by such factors as the density of air. Higher density makes sound travel faster. This is because sound is a wave fenomenon that requires the molecules in the air to collide in a wave-like manner, and in air with higher density there are more molecules per volume, and so the collisions happens more often, and the sound-wave can travel faster.

Consider sound to be waves (as is the correct assumption). When one hears a low frequency sound, fewer sound waves are passing by the listener in a finite period of time than are passing by when a high frequency sound is heard.
Think of the high frequency sound as being "more compressed" rather than "faster."
Best of luck!

Which would be 360 metres per second for anybody interested.
