The answer is essentially in the question.
Sound is the sensation caused by vibrations in the air.
The faster the vibrations, the higher the frequency.
So, when an engine is revved, the frequency of the vibrations it creates increases, and it gives higher frequency sounds, perceived as an increase in pitch.

Why are pitch and frequency similar to loudness and intensity?
sound has properties of loudness and pitch. The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of vibration. A speaker making a loud sound moves back and forth more than a speaker making a soft sound. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of vibration. A speaker making a high pitched sound like a siren vibrates with a higher frequency than the same speaker making a low pitched sound like thunder
Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
Is the frequency of thunder a low or high sound?
high
How low or high a sound is its?
volume/frequency
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.

A high frequency sound will be heard as a low or high sound?
high
Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?
No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
High frequency and a low amplitude represents what kind of sound?
the best describes a high frequency sound is high pitch!!..
Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
What is the pitch of the sound if it has a high frequency?
Really high
Is the frequency of thunder a low or high sound?
high
If a sound had a high amplitude and high frequency what would it sound like?
The sound would be like thunder, since thunder also has high amplitudes and frequency also. Usually at the begining of thunder you will listen cracking (krat..kat..krat .........) sound which is high frequency and high pitch. At the time when thundering is almost stop you will listen the heavy /bass sound which is very high amplitude and low frequency (goom.goom....goom...........) sound.
High frequency sound waves are know as?
Ultrasonic sound.
Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
The pitch of sound depends on the sound's frequency. Frequency is basically the amount of waves the sound is producing. If there are many waves, "happen frequently", it is a high frequency. This is a high pitch. If the distance between the waves is large, it is a low frequency and a low pitch.
