High pitch, medium duration, heard over hollow structures explains the tympanic tone in mediate percussion.
The tone that has loud amplitude, low pitch, and longer duration, heard over an air-filled organ, such as a lung, is known as resonant.
The tone which has low amplitude, medium to high pitch, short duration, heard over solid organs, such as the liver, is known as dull.
The tone which is very low pitch, prolonged duration, heard over tissue with reduced density, such as emphysema, is known as hyper-resonant.
