Is pitch based on frequency?

In general, pitch increases more rapidly than frequency for tones below 1000 Hz and less rapidly for tones above 1000 Hz . That is, for frequencies above 1000 Hz a greater change in frequency is needed to produce a corresponding change in pitch.

Pitch is an auditory sensation in which a listener assigns musical tones to relative positions on a musical scale based primarily on their perception of the frequency of vibration. Pitch is closely related to frequency, but the two are not equivalent .

While frequency measures the cycle rate of the physical waveform, pitch is how high or low it sounds when you hear it . This is directly related to frequency: the higher the frequency of a waveform, the higher the pitch of the sound you hear.
