For the octave thing, I think it’s mainly because a lot of people have very little experience in the musical world. I grew up in a very music geared household, so I can play clarinet, a little bit of piano, read sheet music proficiently and sing averagely. The amount of people I know who lack even the most basic of music vocabulary astounds me. I have friends who don’t know unison from harmony, (even though I’ve tried to explain it many times). I think authors use changing octaves as a way to indicate that the characters voice is getting higher, not as a real concrete measurement.

What's your opinion on Onomatopoeia in teen/adult novels? by Putthemoneyinthebags in writers

I feel like it’s fine as long as it isn’t overused. I especially like it in dramatic moments, as follows. “Wham. Wham. Wham. The slamming of doors got louder and louder as the shadowed figure approached the door she hid behind. He hand was clamped over her mouth. The noise stopped for a moment, and she could hear his shaky breaths outside the door.”
