how does pitch relate to sound?

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Pitch is the shrillness of sound. It depends on the frequency of the sound. A girl's voice is generally higher in pitch than a boy's. A mosquito humming close to your ears sounds very irritating, because that sound is of a very high pitch(and so, very high frequency). The best way to understand pitch is to hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G60hM1W_mk Go there, and hear sounds of different frequencies(different pitch)

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Also, horror movies like Paranormal activity use sounds of extremely low frequencies to make things more horrifying!
