I’ve seen some studies where people tend to guess higher frequency pitches come from sources located physically higher than lower frequency ones. The evidence seemed middling enough that a better replication may fail, though. Supposedly most languages (?? numbers ??) use the high-low metaphor (do they agree on the direction?). My first question is whether someone from a language that reverses the order or uses a different metaphor/none at all would have the same results.
