Using the pulley menu without looking requires counting the clicks/vibrations. While counting to four isn't very difficult having different sounds for each item could be faster and more intuitive.

Pitch is propably the least obtrusive way to do this. (Although you can create nice harmonies and such.)

Here is a quick mockup: Click

Speech synthesis reads out the items. Used as a accessibility feature or just as a way to navigate pulley menus never needing to look at the screen

Completely different sounds Why would you do that?

Number of clicks indicates the position. One click for the first item, two clicks for the second item ...
