pitch
A few days ago I translated it as 'good tone', which I now realise is wrong. The answerer had a confidence level of 5, so I trusted him :-(

It occurs at the beginning of diastole after S2 and is lower in pitch than S1 or S2 as it is not of valvular origin.
Heart clicks are short, high-pitched sounds that can be appreciated with modern non-invasive imaging techniques.
The pericardial friction rub can be heard in pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. This is a characteristic scratching, creaking, high-pitched sound emanating from the rubbing of both layers of inflamed pericardium.

Spanish term (edited):
buen tono e intensidad
(heart sounds) clear and strong
Now, buen tono, as already said, seems to refer to "no pitch alterations". And yet, this is very unusual in English reports. The best equivalent and usual expression to "buen tono e intensidad" is probably "heart sounds clear and strong", where "clear" conveys the same idea of "buen tono". A veces se expresa en castellano como tonos netos / (claros), which might be probably more "clear" to understand.
Por ejemplo, en el taponamiento cardíaco se describe una "ausencia de clear heart sounds", describiéndose en castellano ruidos (tonos) apagados.
I believe thus that tonos netos, tonos "claros", or buen tono (as in ruidos cardíacos con buen tono e intensidad) can be safely translated as clear heart sounds.

Heart sounds that are very difficult to hear are termed distant, and those that are easily heard are termed clear

Creo que ésta es una buena descripción del contraste en castellano entre ruidos apagados o con buen tono y el motivo por el que tono e intensidad suele ir ligado (también en inglés; "clear and strong").
By the same token, low frequency heart sounds present audibility problems if they are faint. (...) Higher volume is required for low frequencies to be heard.

Ruidos cardíacos claros, ruidos cardíacos con buen tono, ruidos cardíacos con tonos netos, expresarían así todas la misma idea de base; clear heart sounds.
