  Tritone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tritone is a restless interval, classed as a dissonance in common practice music; less dissonant than the second or seventh, but given the name diabolus in musica ("the Devil's interval") by some from the early music era to the baroque period.
The tritone occurs naturally between the 4th and 7th scale degrees of the major scale (for example, in C major F to B), and depending on which of the two notes occurs in the bass, it is either an augmented 4th, or a diminished 5th.
In jazz harmony, the tritone is both part of the dominant chord and its substitute dominant (also known as the sub V chord).

Simply put, ''musica ficta'' were notes outside of the diatonic modal system in use in a given piece, and which were used to avoid harsh harmonic or melodic intervals (for example the tritone, the "diabolus in musica").
An example would be the use of a B-flat instead of a B-natural, in order to avoid a tritone against an F in another part.
In modern transcriptions of Medieval and Renaissance music, these notes are almost invariably indicated with accidentals, since modern singers cannot possibly receive the kind of training given to singers seven hundred years ago; only small portions of that training can be reconstructed from fragmentary and often contradictory sources.

 pitch (music) - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Like other senses, the relative perception of pitch can be fooled, resulting in "audio illusions".
There are several of these, such as the tritone paradox, but most notably the Shepard scale, where a continuous or discrete sequence of specially formed tones can be made to sound like this sequence continues ascending forever, when this in fact is a clever audio illusion.
In atonal, twelve tone, or set theory a "pitch" is a specific frequency while a pitch class is all the octaves of a frequency.
