The correct statement is: "The frequency of a sound does not affect the speed at which it travels."

Explanation: In air (at a given temperature and pressure) sound speed depends on the medium, not on frequency or amplitude. Frequency and wavelength are related by v = f·λ, so if v is fixed, higher frequency means shorter wavelength.
