an explanation of sound wave.The pitch of a sound is dictated by the frequency of the sound wave,while loudness is dictated by the amplitude.When a drum is beaten,the air particle around the drum skin vibrates in the form of compression.

Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave (i.e. generally, the lowest frequency in a given sound wave). For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.However, technically, pitch (and volume) are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both (and even other factors). Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different perceived pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.
