Correct the whole passage-
The amplitude of vibration of a sound wave determines its pitch. The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the lower is its pitch, and hence shriller is the sound produced. Similarly, a sound wave of lower frequency has a low pitch and hence a shriller sound is produced. For example, a man's voice is shriller than a woman's voice. Some examples of low pitch sounds are the screaming of a child and the buzzing of mosquitoes whereas examples of high pitch sounds are the beating of a drum and the roaring of a lion.

Solution

The amplitude of vibration of a sound wave determines its Loudness.
The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the higher is its pitch, and hence shriller is the sound produced.
Similarly, a sound wave of lower frequency has a low pitch and hence a flat sound is produced.
For example, a woman's voice is shriller than a man's voice.
Some examples of high pitch sounds are the screaming of a child and the buzzing of mosquitoes whereas examples of low pitch sounds are the beating of a drum and the roaring of a lion.
