A classmate says that higher pitch music notes are irritating because they vibrate in your ear faster. Which part of that statement is fact and which is opinion?

Irritating= opinion; vibration speed= fact.

How can we make sounds louder?

Using more energy (increasing the density of the particles in the compressions and decreasing it in the rarefactions).
