Outside of anechoic chambers, that's always true. But nothing about
static geometry can change the pitch of sound. Least of all when the
surfaces are inelastic. John was right. It is inherently a non-linear
process. Simple hard surfaces can hardly be expected to exhibit such
active characteristics, regardless of their shape. (02)

All I can say is: Prove it! Prove it using non-human sound-generating
and measuring instruments. (04)
