a. pitch
Tough one! You see, there is a term for both thefrequency and the level. The most common term for the frequency would be the "Pitch" of the sound, and the frequency unit of measurement is the Hertz (cycles per second) or Hz. It is an accepted standard that the average Human can hear a spectrum from 20Hz (really low pitch) to 20kHz (really high pitch). The level of sound is commonly referred to as the "Loudness" and is measured in Decibels (db) and the most common measuring device is called an SPL (sound pressure level) Meter. So...If you were describing, lets say, a very loud "A" note above middle "C", the description could look like this; 440Hz @ +110db. Dave Bowling (db)
An oscilloscope is the machine, but it measures frequency.... so sound waves are measured by frequency
Another term for the frequency of a sound wave is pitch. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived to be by the human ear, and it is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave.
The term audio frequency is a frequency of sound that a person can hear. It is the part of sound that controls pitch. The pitch of sound is measured by hertz.

Frequency
In acoustics, the term "frequency" refers to the number of sound waves that pass a certain point in a given amount of time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) and determines the pitch of a sound.
Doppler effect is the term that describes the apparent change in frequency of sound waves as a source of sound moves relative to an observer. This phenomenon causes the pitch of the sound to appear higher as the source approaches the observer and lower as it moves away.
Sound quality is the term for the bending of overlapping sound wave frequencies through interference.
The pitch and frequency are the same thing. The term "pitch" is used by musicians while the term "frequency" is used by scientists. By Lorraine Kyle B. Vergara

Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that occur in one second. In terms of sound waves, a higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. This means that the pitch of a sound is directly related to its frequency.
