  3. Pitch is an auditory attribute of tones, and any tone is physically characterized by a frequency (i.e., oscillations per second). As everyone knows, pitch is immediately dependent on frequency, such that pitch ascends and descends monotonically with frequency. To build a model of pitch perception one merely has to design a frequency meter for tones.

  5. Pitch is a perceptual property that allows the ordering of sounds on a frequency-related scale. Pitches are compared as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies, which require sound whose frequency is clear and stable enough to distinguish from noise. Pitch is a major auditory attribute of musical tones, along with duration, loudness, and timbre.

  6. Pitch of a sound can be simply a measure of its frequency, there are circumstances in which a constant frequency sound can be perceived to be changing in pitch.

  10. in speech, the relative highness or lowness of a tone as perceived by the ear, which depends on the number of vibrations per second produced by the vocal cords. Pitch is the main acoustic correlate of tone and intonation.
