It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
When a string, cable, or other elongated object is under increased amounts of tension, it will vibrate at a correspondingly higher frequency. In terms of sound, as you tighten your guitar string, the pitch goes up.
Yes, and an easier way to think about it is to remember that the pitch of a sound is directly affected by the frequency of the sound vibrations. For instance, when you tighten a string on a guitar, the tighter string creates more vibrations, thus a higher pitch.
pitch gets higher
Avibration in a string is a wave. Usually a vibrating string produces a sound whose frequency in most cases is constant. Therefore, since frequency characterizes the pitch, the sound produced is a constant note. Vibrating strings are the basis of any string instrument like guitar, cello, or piano. The speed of propagation of a wave in a string is proportional to the square root of the tension of the string and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear mass of the string.

Loosening the string will LOWER the frequency, tightening it will RAISE the frequency.
tightening the tuners on the guitar change the pitch strings are just like shoes they all do the same thing but some are better for some and some are worse for others.
Vibrations run up and down the string at the sound of speed. The longer the string the lower the frequency of the wave biting both ends, resulting in a lower pitch. Frequency is simply the frequency of the vibrations.
When adjusting the tune of the strings on a guitar, one will need to mainly focus on achieving the correct pitch by adjusting the knobs on the headstock for each string. The pitch of every string will be in tune with the frequency of an A440 fork of tuning. Only the A string will be in tune with the frequency of a tuning fork at concert / 440 pitch. All other strings are tuned relative to the A string. Turn the tuning keys to adjust the string. tightening the string will adjust the note higher loosening the string will make the note lower.
A higher pitch or note is produced by either shortening the string length by fingering (as in a guitar or violin), or by tightening the string, as in tuning a guitar. Higher pitches can also be played by lightly touching a string at its exact midpoint while plucking it, which suppress is fundamental pitch will allowing its harmonic to sound. This would produce a sound one octave higher.

Tightening the strings increases the pitch, loosening them lowers it. This is because you are changing the length of the string as you turn the tuning pegs.
There are some complex physics behind string vibrations. Essentially, the looser the string, the less nodes, or points where the sound waves go from crest to trough. This of course affects the frequency, or rate at which the string vibrates. So when the string is tightened, more nodes are created, and the frequency increases, increasing the pitch.
You may be reffering to a tuner, as in a part of the guitar that changes the note that string plays by tightening it or loosening it, or a tuner as in a small device which tells you what note is sounding from your guitar. the latter allows you to make sure that your gutar is in correct tune by telling you exactly what note each string is playing so you can adjust it to the right pitch.
Loudness for an acoustic guitar depends on how hard you pluck the string. Loudness for an electric guitar depends on how loud the speaker setting is. Pitch depends on which string you pluck, and which fret, if any, you are fingering. The tighter the string, the higher the pitch, in general. The shorter the section that is allowed to vibrate, the higher the pitch of that string.
