The frequency of the sound wave gives rise to the perception of pitch. Pitch is synonymous to frequency (which is the number of complete waves, or cycles, per second). The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. Pitch

Is rumbling thunder's sound high pitch or low pitch sound?

The CRACK or RRRIP of nearby lightning has considerable high-pitchedsound energy in it, but the rumble of distant thunder is low pitched.


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


What are the two elements of sounds?

Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender


What is the pitch of sound?

The pitch of sound refers to how high or low a sound is perceived. It is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitch.


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

A sound with a low pitch always has a low?

I think the answer you seek is frequency. A low pitch equals a low frequency of the sound wave.


What type of wavelength does a low pitch have?

A low pitch corresponds to longer wavelengths. In sound waves, a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, which results in a lower pitch.


The loudness of a sound is related to the of the vibration that produces the sound?

The loudness of sound is related to the amplitude (or magnitude) of the vibration that is the sound. The frequency of the sound is not related to its loudness. A certain pitch can be loud or soft. Though some frequencies travel through the air better than others.


What describes the highness and the lowness of the sound?

Pitch describes the highness and lowness of a sound. A high pitch sound has a high frequency, while a low pitch sound has a low frequency.


What sort of waves make unpleasant sound unpleasant sound?

pleasant sound? softness and low pitch unpleasant sound? loudness and low pitch


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


What is a description of sound as high or low?

High pitch sound waves have greater frequency and shorter wavelength, while low pitch sound waves have lower frequency and longer wavelength. These differences are perceived by our ears as the pitch of the sound.


What property describes how HIGH or LOW a sound seems to a person?

For a sound with low pitch what else is always low?

Its frequency. Pitch is just another name for describing the frequency of a sound.


For a sound with a low pitch what else is always low?

Its frequency. Pitch is just another name for describing the frequency of a sound.


Does a high pitch sound have a greater frequency than a low pitch sound?

Yes
