How do the frequency and amplitude affect the sound?

A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. Amplitude corresponds to the loudness of sound.

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. ( for amplitude)

Since sound at all frequencies has the same speed in air, a change in frequency means a change in wavelength. ( for frequency)
