State
Sound frequency is the number of wave cycles per second and determines perceived pitch; amplitude determines perceived loudness.

A tuning fork struck harder is louder at the same pitch, because amplitude changed and frequency did not.
Watch for
Pitch and loudness are perceptions. Frequency and amplitude are the physical properties behind them.
