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.
There are two main properties of a regular vibration-the amplitude and the frequency-which affect the way it sounds. Amplitude is the size of the vibration, and this determines how loud the sound is. We have already seen that larger vibrations make a louder sound.Amplitude is important when balancing and controlling the loudness of sounds, such as with the volume control on your CD player.It is also the origin of the word amplifier, a device which increases the amplitude of a waveform. Frequency is the speed of the vibration, and this determines the pitch of the sound.It is only useful or meaningful for musical sounds, where there is a strongly regular waveform.t is also the origin of the word amplifier, a device which increases the amplitude of a waveform.
