Hertz (Hz)
The unit of sound frequency; one Hz is equal to one cycle per second. The range of human hearing is 20-20,000 Hz. The lower the frequencies the lower the tones, for instance drums would typically send out frequencies lower than 100 Hz while the cymbols whould be in the 10-15 Khz range.

Hertz
Vibrations or cycles per second, abbreviated 'Hz', a measurement of the frequency of a vibrating object. If you play the open A string on a concert-tuned guitar, the string's tone is at 110Hz, which is 110 vibrations per second. The human range of frequency perception, on average, is roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Hertz
The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the SI unit of frequency. Its base unit is cycle/s or s-1 (also called inverse seconds, reciprocal seconds). In English, hertz is used as both singular and plural. As any SI unit, Hz can be prefixed; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 103 Hz), MHz (megahertz, 106 Hz), GHz (gigahertz, 109 Hz) and THz (terahertz, 1012 Hz).
