Characteristics of a sound wave. Since sound is a wave, we can relate the properties of sound to the properties of a wave. The basic properties of sound are: pitch, loudness and tone. Pitch. The frequency of a sound wave is what your ear understands as pitch. A higher frequency sound has a higher pitch, and a lower frequency sound has a lower pitch.
You can also place sound absorbing materials, like the insulation in your home, between the walls to cut down on the transmition of sound waves. Compared to light, sound waves travel relatively slowly. Because of this slowness in the movement of sound waves, your brain is able to help you locate the source of a sound. There is a measurable difference in the time it takes the sound to reach both of your ears. From this you can tell where the source is located. You can use sound to measure distances.
