What does 1,350 Hz sound like?
1,350 Hz is a midrange frequency. It is a clear midrange tone, close to where the human ear does most of its work for speech and melody.
A 1,350 Hz sound wave completes 1,350 cycles every second, so one cycle lasts 741 µs. In air at 20 °C, where sound travels at about 343 m/s, each wave is 25.4 cm (10.00 in) long; in water it stretches to 1.10 m because sound moves about 4.3 times faster there.
Musically, 1,350 Hz is 41 cents above E6 (1.319 kHz) in standard A440 tuning. Doubling it to 2,700 Hz raises the pitch by one octave; halving it to 675 Hz lowers it by one.
