Since a triangle has a small opening not quite touching the other end it created the small pitched sound, by holding it with your hand it makes the small opening vibrate trough your fingers practically making a pathway to the other end thus making the sound duller.

Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?
No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.
