Human hearing is most effective in the range of about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Slightly lower frequency sounds may be heard or "felt."
Some sounds outside this range can be heard by some individuals. Some animals have a wider range of hearing, such as dogs who can hear higher pitched (higher frequency) sounds.
