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.
