The lede contains this sentence: "Pitch can be determined only in sounds that have a frequency that is clear and stable enough to distinguish from noise." Perhaps this is quoted from the referenced source, but "noise" is a problematic term: music often incorporates unpitched percussion, for example, which isn't really noise. The page noise defines it as unwanted sounds, like weeds in a garden, which is a value judgment more than a perceptual phenomenon. — Wahoofive ( talk) 23:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
I was hoping to find out when it became possible to associate a frequency with a pitch. The idea that sound is vibrations of air has been around for a very long time, but when did it become possible to associate an actual number of cycles per second to a pitch?

pitch is a perpetual property of sound That allows their ording on an a frequency-related scale 102.89.34.202 ( talk) 18:09, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
Rather than pitch being a synonym to frequency, it is instead a perceptual phenomenon? And each "pitch" (i.e. each perception of a sound) has an assosciated frequency? I am so vastly confused. How am I supposed to understand pitch if it's not objective? Qsimanelix ( talk) 19:15, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
