Shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies makes high pitched sounds.

Take a rubber band and cut part of it; hold it between your fingers and stretch it slightly; strum it. You will hear a low sound. Pull it tighter, and strum it. It moves faster, and the sound is higher.

Low frequencies sounds low. Thus the slower movement of the rubber band. Higher frequencies are faster.

^v^v^v^v^v^v^v <--High frequency

^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^- <-- lower frequency

The "frequency" is talking about how frequent, or often, the waves are. The more waves in a space, the faster, and thus, higher the sound will be.

What makes a sound produce a high pitched or low pitched noise?

The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch. High frequencies correspond to high-pitched sounds, while low frequencies correspond to low-pitched sounds. A high frequency wave completes more oscillations in a given time, producing a higher pitch, and vice versa for low frequency waves.


Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?

Low-pitched sounds from the bands will have lower frequencies compared to high-pitched sounds. Low frequencies are associated with deep, bassy tones, while high frequencies are associated with sharper, more piercing tones.

Can you hear high pitched or lower pitched sounds better underwater?

Higher pitched sounds are typically easier to hear underwater compared to lower pitched sounds. The reason for this is that water is a denser medium than air, which results in faster attenuation of lower frequency sounds and better transmission of higher frequency sounds.


How does brain distinguish between high-pitched from low-pitched sounds?

The brain distinguishes between high-pitched and low-pitched sounds based on the frequency of the sound waves. High-pitched sounds have a higher frequency, while low-pitched sounds have a lower frequency. The auditory system processes these differences to perceive variations in pitch.


What is the definition of squeal?

A squeal is a high-pitched abrasive sound. The word is used to describe the high-pitched sounds pigs and children make. It can also be used for mechanical sounds, such as the sound of rubber tires trying to get traction, or high-pitched engine sounds.


Are the dolphins makes a high pitch sounds?

Yes, dolphins are known to make high-pitched sounds such as clicks, whistles, and squeaks. These sounds are used for communication, echolocation, and social interactions among dolphins.


Does a low pitched note have a high frequency?

No, a low pitched note has a low frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with low frequency sounds corresponding to low pitched notes and high frequency sounds corresponding to high pitched notes.
