Pitch strength of pure tones varies with their frequency

Evidence

The pitch strength of pure tones depends on frequency. To demonstrate this effect, triplets of tones at frequencies of 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, and 8 kHz are presented. — Professor Dr.-Ing. Hugo Fastl, Professor Dr.-Ing. Eberhard, Psychoacoustics- Facts and Models, 3292

Almost every musical sound contains at least two frequency components
Complex tones above 6 kHz retain musical pitch while pure tones do not.
Instrument spectra vary with player, loudness, pitch, and room
Noise-type sounds have far weaker pitch strength than pure or complex tones.
Pitch depends only on spectrum and periodicity, not volume or direction.
Pitch strength varies independently of perceived pitch height
Raising a tone's level lowers low-frequency pitch but raises high-frequency pitch
Ripple-noise pitch strength stays level-independent across a 40 dB range.
