How to Watch Design Squad
Design Squad is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.
Pitch is whether a sound is low or high.
When an object vibrates more quickly, sound waves hit the eardrum more frequently, and the brain interprets a higher sound.
So the faster an object vibrates, the higher the pitch we hear.
