the measure of the speed at which the wave is traveling
the measure of how quickly the wave moves back and forth
the measure of the distance that the sound can travel
the measure of the loudness of the sound

Frequency of a sound - wave is the number of complete cycles (back - and - forth motions) per unit time. It indicates how rapidly the wave oscillates. The speed of the wave is a different property (related to the medium), the distance the sound can travel is related to factors like energy and medium, and the loudness is related to the amplitude of the wave.
