Sound is created by the vibration of air. The faster the vibration, the higher the sound. Smaller objects can vibrate faster than larger objects (of the same kind) and therefore have a higher pitched sound.

Smaller objects produce higher sounds because they vibrate at a faster frequency, resulting in shorter sound waves with higher pitch. The size of an object affects the frequency of the vibrations it produces, with smaller objects vibrating more quickly and producing higher-pitched sounds compared to larger objects.
