    Sound is defined as vibrations that travel through air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. The intensity of sound refers to the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area, while the pitch describes how high or low a sound is. Sound quality or timbre allows the ear to distinguish between sounds of the same pitch and loudness based on their distinguishing characteristics.

    PITCH
