Whales (but also the humble toadfish) emit low-pitched sounds that can carry extremely far under water. The speakers of professional sound systems used by bands and DJ's also have a lot of bass. Diesel engines when stationary emit a very low-frequency sound. On a bigger scale, earthquakes, avalanches and volcanic eruptions create a very low piched noise.

What kind of vibration is required to create a low pitched sound?

Low pitched sounds are produced by vibrations with lower frequency, meaning they have fewer vibrations per second. For example, a larger object vibrating more slowly can create a low-pitched sound. The slower the vibrations, the lower the pitch of the sound produced.


Can you tell by looking at a sound wave how high or low pitched it is?

Yes, the frequency of a sound wave determines how high or low pitched it is. High frequency waves create high-pitched sounds, while low frequency waves create low-pitched sounds. The wave pattern can give an indication of pitch, with shorter wavelengths indicating higher pitch and longer wavelengths indicating lower pitch.


Does a high pitched sound have more or less cycles than a low pitched sound?

A high pitched sound has more cycles per second (frequency) than a low pitched sound. This means that the vibration of the sound wave occurs more rapidly for a high pitched sound compared to a low pitched sound.


Can a low-pitched sound be louder than a high-pitched one?

Yes, a low-pitched sound can be louder than a high-pitched sound if the low-pitched sound has a higher intensity or volume level. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, while the loudness is determined by its amplitude. So, it is possible for a low-pitched sound to be louder than a high-pitched sound based on these factors.


What is the description of a sound as high or low?

Pitch describes whether a sound is perceived as high or low. A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency, while a low-pitched sound has a lower frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by the rate at which the sound wave vibrates.

What is low pitched sound called?

the name of a low pitched sound is called a baritone or woofs. hi-fi systems have speakers called woofers, these are for the low notes

What makes a low pitched sound?

whispering


What is the difference between a loud low pitched sound and a quiet high pitched sound?

A loud low-pitched sound has a lower frequency and greater intensity, while a quiet high-pitched sound has a higher frequency and lower intensity. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, or the number of vibrations per second, while the volume, or intensity, is dictated by the amplitude of the sound waves.


Does a cello make a high pitched sound or low pitched sound?

In the violin family it is in the middle of the range. Not quite as low as the bass and not as high as the violins.


When you tighten an instrument is the sound high pitcheda louder note or a low pitched note?

The sound is lower pitched.


The pitch of a sound is determined by its?

frequency. Sound waves with high frequencies are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while sound waves with low frequencies are perceived as low-pitched sounds.


What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.
