v = velocity of propagation f= frequency or wave = wavelength So it is clear that velocity, wavelength and frequency are interconnected.
If in case man listening to an orchestra in a concert hall waves directly comes to his ear and set on the eardrum vibrate. But this vibration depends upon its pitch. A higher speed of sound produces high frequency, so the pitch of the sound is also high and the same low-frequency sound produce low pitch which means the loudness of sound is also low.
