Frequency is the rate at which a sound wave vibrates, measured in hertz (Hz). In audio, frequency helps describe whether a sound is heard as low, mid, or high in pitch.
Quick facts:
Also called: pitch frequency, sound frequency
Measured in: Hz (hertz)
Common ranges: low, mid, high frequencies
Not the same as: volume or loudness.
Example:
A deep bass sound has a low frequency, while a whistle or cymbal hit has a high frequency. When an editor uses EQ, they are adjusting selected frequency ranges to make audio clearer, warmer, darker, or brighter.
Gotchas:
- Frequency is not the same as loudness. A sound can be high in frequency but quiet, or low in frequency but very loud.
- Frequency is closely related to pitch perception, but they are not always identical in practice. Human hearing, harmonics, and context can affect how pitch feels.
- Not all frequencies are equally useful in every recording. Some ranges add clarity and presence, while others may add rumble, muddiness, harshness, or hiss.
- Changing frequency balance does not automatically fix every audio problem. Poor recording quality, clipping, and bad mic placement often need more than EQ or filtering.
