le ton
"Le son du ton". Pitch is "ton", "la note". It sounds strange to me without any context at all.
You cannot leave the word "pitch" in English, it does not make sense.

I have just reconsidered that without more context, we can steer you totally wrong! I was thinking of music in terms of technique, not for technological music (midi instruments, synthesizers...)
In that case, \"pitch\" is used in English. See the link to the glossary:

diapason
Un peu plus de contexte aiderait la traduction. Une "pitch pipe" produit un ton de référence pour l'accord. Egalement on peut parler du "pitch" d'un instrument, ce qui est lié à la transposition et éventuellement à la tessiture

la hauteur du son
Vous pouvez traduire pitch par hauteur du son car dans ce domaine, la hauteur d´un son détermine la note. Par exemple, le " la " de base en musique est 440htz. La hauteur du son est la hauteur de la fréquence du son. Parole de musicienne.
