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.
Sound waves with a high frequency have high pitches. Sound waves with low frequencies have low pitches. The human ear can hear sound energy as low as 20 Hz and as high as 20,000 Hz. The more energy sound has, the larger the wave is (higher amplitude) and the louder it is.
