Interesting idea. I know little of the relationship between distances in our bodies and heavenly bodies, but there may be something in them influencing each other. Not astrology but more of what Sadhguru discusses here.
Looks like it depends on the medium it is travelling in. I guess if there isn’t a medium, then there isn’t a “sound”, though I may be wrong. I found this on stack exchange though…
“In a solid, the phonon frequency is periodic, since phonons are defined by lattice displacements. In this case, the maximum frequency is estimated by twice the inter-atomic distance over the speed of sound. this gives 20,000 Ghz as the limiting phonon frequency, again higher, because the speed of sound in solids can be 2-3 times higher, and (twice) the interatomic spacing is five times smaller than a liquid. So it is safe to put the upper limit of ultrasound in metals at 100,000 Ghz, and then only for small-atom metals. If you look at optical phonon bands, you can get frequencies like this over a wide range of modes.”
Wikipedia has this diagram of the acoustic frequency spectrum:
Is there an upper limit to the frequencies you can transmit through the air? Are they absorbed more and more at higher frequencies,
An answer to a similar question on Quora brings up the question of if an audio frequency is beyond the range of hearing, is it actually classed as a “sound” or something else, such as a simple vibration. Quarks (probably) vibrate, right?
What is the highest sound frequency possible? - Quora
Interesting idea. I was intrigued, so I emailed the well-respected physicist Dr Philip Moriarty about this and although I couldn’t get a definitive yes or no answer to the question (of if there is a highest pitch), he did provide a great link to further reading and a nice insight into what, if anything would limit a very high pitch sound wave travelling in air.
“The question of a highest pitch is really intriguing… The ultimate limitation will be the response time of the medium: how quickly can the molecules/atoms transfer the energy? And that will depend, in a first approximation, on the mean free path of the molecules – i.e. how far they travel, on average, without being scattered by another molecule. And then there’s the question of the attenuation as a function of frequency.”

This idea may indicate that music is infinite not only in the combinations of notes that could be played but also in the number of notes that exist, or
Ahh, the miracle frequency idea in disguise, there might be some weight to this but the hippies have gotten hold of it, and won’t give it back to science. Watch this
This version of The Scientist by Coldplay is said to be better than the one at 440. I can’t hear the difference (consciously) but some research says otherwise…
“432 Hz gives a greater clarity than 440 Hz, there’s less need to play music in 432 Hz as loud as in 440 Hz. This means less hearing damage, as long as you put the volume not too high. It’s known that, for example, 90 dB gives hearing damage after 8 hours. Further there’s also less noise pressure with 432 Hz.”
There's been a debate floating around about whether instruments sound better tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. While 440 is the standard tuning (and what the vast m...
This article says its a conspiricy, but nah. Its just not tuned up to anything that really matters, our brains, the earth or the cosmos. Like the idea of trying to change it though, see where you get with that…

How could we even detect a wavelength shorter than a quark? There may be loads of sounds going on out there, well, in here, that we can’t measure. From this on wiki, pitch may be boundless, both ways.
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum spans many types of radiation, from gamma rays and X-rays through ultraviolet, visible, and infrared “light” and on through longer radio waves.

Hmm, sounds like this guy has adjusted more settings than just the frequency as I hear a totally different sound, maybe its a joke. I can’t tell.

Can’t even find out if there is an upper limit for light nevermind sound.
So is there a highest pitch or frequency? No clues here but a good video anyways.
