Frequency = cycles per second. Meaning, how many times a sound wave completes one full cycle in one second.
Frequency is the property of sound that most determines pitch.
The unit of audio frequency is the hertz (Hz).
The generally accepted standard range of audible frequencies for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.
*If you’d like to hear what some different frequencies sound like, check out our episode 100 starting at 20 min. and 37 seconds in, where I demonstrate lots of frequencies.
