What we consider a "high pitched frequency" is the upper end of our normal hearing range. The normal hearing range of human beings is roughly 10 hertz to 25,000 hertz. Sound is transmitted from point to point by series of compressions of air. The number of these compression packs in any given second is a hertz (also referred to as cycles per second).

Low frequencies (pitches) take more power to produce compared to higher frequencies.

An interesting phenomenon in humans is that as we age we lose the ability to sense the upper range of our hearing. There are now phone ring tones that only young people can hear, because us old folks have lost the ability to hear the sound.
