Detailed Solution

The musical sound distinguishes between a sharp sound and a dull sound is pitch.
The pitch depends on the vibration frequency of the wave. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, which can be said to be a high-pitched sound. On the other hand, if the pitch of the sound is said to be low, then the frequency of vibration is low. Consider an example where a lion's roar is low-pitched, while a bird's roar is high-pitched. The quality of sound that distinguishes between sharp and dull sounds is called pitch.
