The size of a sound wave is relative your body size. To a human a high pitch 
sound wave has a small tight wave, lets just say it has a modulation as high 
as your ear about 2". To a human small. To a mouse the same sound wave ( 2" ) 
is taller then his body. would it sound like a low pitch tone to the mouse?
