Sound waves into sine waves

Can anyone explain the equation $\sin(fπx)$ where $f$ is a sound wave's frequency in Hz?

I am trying to convert sound waves into graphed sine waves by using their frequency but don't understand the formula. Why are we multiplying by $\pi$?

If anyone knows another equation to graph the sound like a sine wave I would be very grateful... I found this equation online and it doesn't seem right...
