The answer to this question is clearly no. You might suspect, that the higher the frequency, the louder we perceive a noise , but frequency does not tell us how loud a sound is. Intensity or loudness is the amount of energy of a vibration and is measured in decibels (dB). If a sound is loud, it has a high intensity.

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.
