Anything you hit makes a vibration. Vibration=Sound.

I guess it depends how hard you hit the object (in this case metal) you will be able to hear the sound. But yes, they do make a high pitched sound when you hit them (some so high pitched you will never be able to hear them).

How are pitch and sound alike and how are they different?

Pitch is only a componet of any sound. It represents the frequency of the sound, normally expressed in hertz (number of waves in a second). Low frequeny sounds are bass, thunder, foghorns, etc. High frequency sounds are screeches, bird whistles, breaking glass, etc. People's voices are in between high and low (normally 400 to 1000 hertz). Other components of a sound are amplitude (how energetic or loud the sound is) and wave envelope (wave shape).


What can we do to make the pitch high?

To make the pitch higher, you can tighten your vocal cords, increase the tension in your throat muscles, and try to produce sound from a higher point in your vocal range. Practice exercises that focus on raising your pitch can also help develop a higher vocal range.


When you change the pitch of a sound what change in sound wave?

In sounds with higher pitches, the compressions that make up the sound are closer together; when the pitch is lower, they are farther apart. The wavelength of a sound, which is the distance from one compression to the next, is the speed of sound divided by the sound's frequency (pitch).
