Pitch (Sound)

Summary: Some singers can produce higher-pitched notes than others. The pitch of a note depends on the frequency of the sound wave. High-pitched sounds have a high frequency and low-pitched sounds have a low frequency. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) or kilohertz (kHz), and 1000 Hz = 1 kHz.
