What happens to amplitude when pitch of sound increases?
The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch (frequency) of the sound. The trace on 3 comes from a sound with a higher frequency than the one on 2. So sounds 2 and 3 are the same volume (amplitude), but 3 has higher pitch (frequency).
What frequency is most annoying to humans?
More surprisingly, they found that the frequencies responsible for making a sound unpleasant were commonly found in human speech, which ranges from 150 to 7000 hertz (Hz). The offending frequencies were in the range of 2000 to 4000 Hz.

What does it mean if you can hear high frequencies?
Understanding high-frequency hearing loss. One of the most common types of hearing loss is known as high-frequency hearing loss. This means high-pitched sounds are harder to hear. It can affect anyone of any age, but is common in older adults with age-related hearing loss, as well as people exposed to loud noises.
Can high frequency sound kill you?
The general consensus is that a loud enough sound could cause an air embolism in your lungs, which then travels to your heart and kills you. Alternatively, your lungs might simply burst from the increased air pressure. High-intensity ultrasonic sound (generally anything above 20KHz) can cause physical damage.
