The correct response is **frequency**.
A higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency of the sound wave. In contrast, the speed of sound in a given medium is generally constant, and wavelength is related to frequency and speed. Amplitude relates to loudness, not pitch. Thus, if a sound has a higher pitch than a bell, its frequency must also be higher.
