Question
Which sound has the higher pitch, a sound at $400 \mathrm{~Hz}$ or a sound at $600 \mathrm{~Hz}$ ?
Step 1
Pitch is the perception of how high or low a sound is, and it is related to the frequency of the sound wave. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. Now, let's compare the two frequencies given: 400 Show more…

Which sound will most likely have the highest pitch? A bass drum (150 Hz) A distant thunder (90 Hz) A tuba (60 Hz) A whistle (1000 Hz)
What sound intensity levels must sounds of frequencies 60, 3000, and 8000 Hz have in order to have the same loudness as a 40-dB sound of frequency 1000 Hz (that is, to have a loudness of 40 phones)?
How do we perceive high-frequency sounds (above $4000 \mathrm{Hz}$ )?
