Because the rate of change in the pressure in the air differs: high pitch has a rapid vibration, low pitch a slow vibration.
Humans can usually hear from a low of 20 Hz (cycles per second) to 20,000 Hz.
I'm so old that I do not hear much above 12,000 Hz any more.

Does a triangle have a high pitch or a low pitch sound?
A triangle has high pitch.
A sound with a low pitch always has a low?
I think the answer you seek is frequency. A low pitch equals a low frequency of the sound wave.
Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
What objects produces low pitch sound?
large,thick things produce a low pitch sound
How does frequency affect the pitch of sound?
In my book the pitch of sound is the frequency. Musicians have different names for pitch, like middle C or F sharp, but they all correspond to certain frequencies.The answer above is not correct it is totally unsenceable
Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
Does a triangle have a high pitch or a low pitch sound?
A triangle has high pitch.
Does a seal makes high pitch or low pitch sound?
High
What is a description of sound as high or low?
The pitch of the sound.
What property describes how HIGH or LOW a sound seems to a person?
pitch
Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
What is difference in pitch and loudnes?
pitch - how high or low a sound is volume - how loud a sound is
Does a high pitch sound have a greater frequency than a low pitch sound?
Yes
Is pitch a high or low sound?
SeeWhat_is_the_pitch_range_of_a_harp
What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?
Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".
Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?
No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
When the pitch of a sound has a low frequency and long wavelengthdoes it create a High sound?
No, it creates a low sound.
