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.
Read moreWhat is the difference between pitch and frequency?
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.
Read moreWhat is the difference between high and low sounds?
The distance between the peaks of the waves is called the wavelength. High–pitched sounds have short wavelengths, which means that the peaks are close together. Low–pitched sounds have longer wavelengths, so the peaks are more spread out .
Read moreWhat is low and high frequency?
How are sounds measured? Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) [hurts]. A low- frequency sound is about 500 Hz or lower. A high- frequency sound is about 2,000 Hz and higher .
Read moreWhat does low frequency waves mean?
Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz . Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km, respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre wave. LF radio waves exhibit low signal attenuation, making them suitable for long-distance communications.
Read moreWhat is a high frequency wave?
High frequency (HF) is an electromagnetic frequency defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for radar and radio communications . It operates in a range of three to thirty MHz and as the wavelengths spread over ten to one hundred meters, it is also known as decameter wave and designated as band 7.

Human reactions. 20 Hz is considered the normal low-frequency limit of human hearing.
