To a good approximation the perceived pitch of a sine wave is directly related to the frequency of the sound. Pitch may refer to: Look up Pitch in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... In trigonometry, an ideal sine wave is a waveform whose graph is identical to the generalized sine function y = Asin[ω(x − α)] + C, where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency (2π/P where P is the wavelength), α is the phase shift, and C... FreQuency is a music video game developed by Harmonix and published by SCEI. It was released in November 2001. ... Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a longitudinal wave. ...


More complex sounds can also have pitch, notably speech and musical notes. Most such sounds have a spectrum that is (approximately) a stack of harmonics. In speech, the lowest harmonic in the stack is called the fundamental frequency, and is strongly correlated with the perceived pitch. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... This article is about music. ... In most modern usages of the word spectrum, there is a unifying theme of between extremes at either end. ... In acoustics and telecommunication, the harmonic of a wave is a component frequency of the signal that is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency. ... The fundamental tone, often referred to simply as the fundamental, is the lowest frequency in a harmonic series. ...
