Pitch in music describes the frequency of the vibrations that produce a sound.

The pitch of a sound


can be expressed in hertz (Hz), or as a note on a music staff. Pitch is a fundamental aspect of music,
and it’s what allows us to distinguish between different notes and chords.

The pitch of a sound refers to its frequency, which is measured in cycles per second, or Hertz. The
pitch of a note in a song can be compared to the frequency of an A string on a guitar, which is usually
tuned to 440 Hz. Other common musical pitches include:

* G is 392 Hz

* D is 311 Hz

* A is 220 Hz

* E is 330 Hz

The pitch of a song is determined by the relative frequencies of the notes in the melody and harmony
of the song. Music with a high average pitch is generally considered to be more exciting and
energetic, while music with a low average pitch is often considered to be more calming and soothing.
