What is a sound frequency?

Sound frequency refers to the rate of vibration of sound waves per unit of time, measured in hertz (Hz). These waves are created by the movement of an object, such as a guitar string or a vocal cord, which causes pressure changes in the surrounding air. These changes in pressure travel through the air as sound waves, which we hear as sound.

The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch. Low frequencies produce low-pitched sounds, such as a bass guitar or a rumbling thunderstorm, while high frequencies produce high-pitched sounds, such as a bird's chirp or a whistle.

Our brain and body respond to sound frequencies in various ways. For example, low-frequency sounds can induce feelings of relaxation and calmness, while high-frequency sounds can create a sense of alertness and focus. Certain frequencies have also been shown to have therapeutic effects on the body, such as reducing anxiety and promoting healing.
