The number of cycles per second (Hertz) (abbreviated as, hz) of anything that oscillates is called the frequency. The electricity of an AC wall outlet is said to have a frequency of 60 Hertz as it cycles negative then positive 60 times each second. Sound is an oscillating wave, but it has a broad range of frequencies. A low frequency sound (say, 50 hz) might sound like a low rumble, while a high frequency sound (say 12,000 hz), might sound more like a sizzle. A person with normal hearing can hear all the way up to about 20,000 hz.
