Is it possible for someone to have perfect pitch and relative pitch?
Yes.
The relative highness or lowness of a sound is called?
It is called "pitch."
What is a propeller pitch?
A screw's pitch is the amount it moves forward per turn. An airscrew (propellor) pitch is the same concept.
What sound characteristic is not affected by the relative motion of an object?
Pitch is not affected by the relative motion of an object. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, which remains constant regardless of the object's motion.
Which sound characteristic is not affected by the relative motion of an object?
Pitch is a sound characteristic that is not affected by the relative motion of an object. This means that the pitch of a sound remains constant regardless of whether the object producing the sound or the listener is in motion.
What is the relative frequency of a sound as perceived by a listener?
I think you mean pitch.
What is the definition of pitch in music?
the pitch is how high your singing or how high the note is ... i think
What is the relative highness lowness or sameness of sound?
The relative highness or lowness of sound is referred to as pitch. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher-pitched, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower-pitched. Sounds with the same frequency are perceived as having the same pitch.
Is pitch a relative concept?
There are two kinds of recognition of different pitches. One is relative pitch and one is absolute pitch, otherwise called perfect pitch. Relative pitch runs on several different levels, some of them human-detectable, and some machine-detectable. On a fundamental, human level, the concept of relative pitch is a comparitively simple one to master - and has already been shown to have been mastered by several animals, including birds and dogs, the latter of whom, it is demonstratively proven, have hearing levels better than humans. The idea of hearing two different pitches, one of 261.6255635 hertz and the next of 277.182631 hertz, and identifying one as a Middle C and one as a C# - one semitone higher - is a purely humanly created concept - which since the introduction of even temperament, has been not just musically defined, but mathematically defined, also. The difference between any one pitch and the pitch of n semitones difference is defined thus - taking the A above middle C, defined, since 1926, as 440 Hertz, as a benchmark. For any note x semitones above or below concert pitch A, the formula for calculating the note's frequency is as such: 440 x (2x/12) The variable x can be any positive or negative number. For example, a value of x = 1 indicates an increase in pitch of a single semitone, while a value of x = -1 indicates a decrease in pitch of a single semitone. The note a quarter-tone above A = 440 can be discovered by multiplying 440 by 2^(0.5/12) - which, when continued throughout the 24 notes of a quarter-tone chromatic scale, would marry each alternate note with its semitonally comparitive neighbour. Quarter tone notes, while mathematically interesting, are a distraction in most chromatic Western music outside of avant garde jazz. However, in non-Western scales, particularly in Indian music, fewer than eight notes exist in a single scale. In almost no instance are these treated absolutely. Humans singing together will treat pitch as a relative concept - close harmony singers working without instruments will often sing notes which do not appear in musical scales because they "sound" better in harmony with each other. Notes can be decreased by as much as a quarter tone in order to make harmony sound "tenser" and increased by a quarter tone in order to make harmony sound "looser" to the average human ear.
How do you use a chromatic tuner to find relative and or absolute pitch of a note you have a person sing?
You will have to go through the notes chromatically until the waves of their voice match the waves of the pitch.
What happens to the sound of a train whistle as a train approaches and passes you why?
As the train approaches you, the pitch of the whistle increases due to the Doppler effect, which compresses the sound waves. As the train passes you, the pitch decreases as the sound waves stretch out. This change in pitch is a result of the relative motion between you and the train.
What is the pitch in English subject?
In English grammar, pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound. It is the relative level of sound determined by the frequency of vibrations produced by vocal cords in speech.
