Volume (loudness), pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.

Relate pitch and frequency?
Well, the two things -pitch and -frequency are the same dimensionally [1/Time] , units 1/s=Hz but one will the the usage of word 'pitch' more often when one deals with 'sound' waves and for all other kind of waves 'frequency' is used in general. pitch for sound waves ('longitudinal' waves) corresponds very nearly to the repetition rate of sound waves.
What would happen if you reduced the amplitude of a sound wave?
Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.
What increases as loudness of a sound increases?
A) wavelength B) frequency C) velocity D) amplitude
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Is pitch made up of sound waves?
Pitch is another name for the frequency of sound waves . . . that is, how close the waves are together. Pitch is a term usually used in terms of music.
What property of the sound waves changed to produce the louder volume?
Well, the sound waves get bigger due to increase in volume, but the pitch does not changes, the waves themselves in real life get louder and therefore harder to absorb
How is the sound of volume measured?
Answer is by sound waves
Sound Engineers use trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used to define triangles, but it is also useful in the representation of waves. Sound engineers, obviously, use deal with sound waves. The pitch, volume, and direction of a sound wave are all deeply rooted in trigonometry.
This depends on the frequency of the sound waves?
it is the pitch
Are higher freqeuncy sound waves louder?
No. They are higher pitched. Frequency determines pitch (the difference between the sound of a bass and a piccolo) but amplitude determines volume.
What is frequency applied to sound waves?
It sound of pitch
What properties of sound is determined by the strength of the vibrations creating the sound?
We can perceive different sound volumes because sound waves have differing amplitudes.
The pitch of a sound that you hear depends on the sound waves?
LOUDNESS
What is determined by sound waves frequency?
The sound that you hear.
What are the differences of sound and water waves in terms of source?
Sound and water waves differ in one main way in terms of source, although they are very alike. Sound waves are generated by a verifiable sound source, such as vibration.
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.
