Do you have perfect pitch? What frequencies do the numbers have? How high is the frequency of a really large number like 1000? What about fractions and irrational numbers?

I don't, though I did play piano for 10 years starting at age 6. I think the frequencies are around middle C or so, though I haven't really checked.

Only digits have notes associated with them. A number like 1000 is just four notes in a row. Irrational numbers again are just composed of their digits.
