If you really want to get into the science, you could look up how phonetics actually relates to the frequency. Things like the vowel sounds do have different corresponding frequencies, and some sounds have two frequencies which are emitted.
I also remember a long time looking at the sound wave pattern of speech; the actual physical breaks (no sound pressure) do not match the ends of syllables or words.
Then you can do comparative looks at different languages. For instance, English is predominately stress-timed, but that is not very common when looking at other languages.
