Pitch in sound

The pitch of sound depends on the frequency of vibration . The higher the frequency the more shrill is the sound and vice versa.

Pitch is then how the human ear hears and understands that frequency. This is all a bit technical and mathematical, but just know that pitch is basically the frequency of a note . The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch and vice versa, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch.

The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound . A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
