The pitch of sound Depends on the frequency, or how fast something is vibrating and the length and/or the diameter.
LOW PITCH: HIGH PITCH:
long length Short length
Large Diameter Small Diameter
Slow Frequency Fast Frequency
The best example of this would be a human's vocal chords. Adults have longer, bigger , slower vocal chords in their Larynx (voice box) than children because they have fully grown. This is why Adults have lower voices than children. With the exception of teenagers, because they might have grown just as much. Next time you have a chance, look at a guitar and see the different size strings.

What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.
Pitch describes the loudness of a sound?
Pitch describes the frequency of a sound.
How is noise related with pitch?
Pitch refers to a sound with specific tones. The pitch of a sound is determined by the spaces between the sound waves. A sound is considered by noise by determining the level of loudness of the sound.
Does the pitch of sound depend on the frequency of the sound waves that produce it?
yes, the pitch of sound does, in fact, depend on the frequency of the sound wave.
What part of a sound is decided by the frequency of its vibrations?
The frequency of a sound determines its pitch. Most sounds are composed of many frequencies. The other major component of sound is its amplitude, or its loudness.
What properties of sound determine the pitch of sound?
The pitch is determined by how high the sound is.
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.
What is a sound that has a definite pitch?
A sound that has a definite pitch is a note.
Pitch describes the loudness of a sound?
Pitch describes the frequency of a sound.
Is pitch used to find loud or soft sound?
pitch isn't used to find sound but pitch is if the sound is loud or soft. the pitch of music may vary.
How is noise related with pitch?
Pitch refers to a sound with specific tones. The pitch of a sound is determined by the spaces between the sound waves. A sound is considered by noise by determining the level of loudness of the sound.
What is sound and pitch?
When a person talks or something crashes it forms a sound. There is sound all over the world. Sound can vary in two different ways. The pitch (not the pitch as in football pitch) of a sound and the volume of a sound. Pitch is how high or how low a sound is. A high pitched sound is like when a child talks. A low pitched sound is like when an adult talks Volume is the term for how strong or how soft a sound is. If the sound is strong then it is loud. But when the sound is soft then the sound is quiet.
Does a sound's pitch depend on its loudness?
No. A sound's pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
Does the pitch of sound depend on the frequency of the sound waves that produce it?
yes, the pitch of sound does, in fact, depend on the frequency of the sound wave.
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
