Solution
Shrillness is the quality of sounds that have a high-pitched, strident, raucous, screeching, or harsh character.
Shrill is the sound produced by a high-frequency vibrating object.
The frequency is related to the sound pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch of the sound. The pitch is a slant of sound.
Examples: The sound of fingernails scraping a chalkboard, the sound of chalk on a blackboard, the sound of glass being scratched, and possibly the sound of a baby crying.
