Sound needs a material medium to travel.
It is about 340 m/s.
Higher frequency gives a higher pitch.
A larger amplitude gives a louder sound.
An echo is reflected sound heard after the original.
Humans hear roughly from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Sound travels faster in denser, stiffer media.
Ultrasound is above the audible range.
Timbre depends on the waveform.
Sonar measures depth using ultrasound echoes.
