Do all sounds have a musical pitch?

Question

Why does, say, a note on a violin have a “pitch”, but the sound made when I bang a table doesn’t have a “pitch”.

Answer 1

All sounds most definitely make sound waves at a variety of frequencies. For it to be “musical” I suppose it would have to consist of a fundamental frequency and additional frequencies that are harmonics of that fundamental.

Although, a lot of percussion would evade that strict definition. So maybe I’m just full of crap?
