high-frequency sound
Shrill acoustic emission
High-frequency sound refers to sound waves with a high number of cycles per second, producing a high pitch.
The term is relative—in audio work, it typically means frequencies above 2,000 Hz; in specialized contexts like ultrasound, it means frequencies above human hearing (20,000 Hz).
Dogs and bats can detect high-frequency sounds inaudible to humans.
