Frequency determines the pitch of the sound.
Pitch is precisely related to the frequency of the sound. So as Pitch increases, frequency also increases. So a high-pitch sound corresponds to a high-frequency sound wave, then we say the sound is shrill, and a low-pitch sound corresponds to a low-frequency sound, then we say the sound is grave.
