Detailed Solution

The Pitch or shrillness of sound is determined by the frequency of the sound. Some examples of high-shrill or pitch sounds are crying babies, shoe squeaking, dogs barking, etc. The more the frequency the more shrill or pitch. 

Therefore the correct decreasing order of shrillness will be25kHz>4kHz >450Hz>30Hz

Where,  25kHz = 25000Hz and 4kHz = 4000Hz
