ultrasonic means their frequency is too high for us to hear, infrasonic means their frequency is too low for us to hear. This is analogous to the electromagnetic spectrum, where ultraviolet light has too high a frequency for us to see, and infra-red light has too low a frequency for us to see.
Infrasonic frequency range is those frequencies that is lower that the hearing range of a human ( we call it the audible range ) from about 19 khz down and Ultrasonic Frequency range is that 21 khz up ,. .. whose range is higher that the audible range

Elephants talking to each other use infrasonic range which travels miles, and most other animals (including humans) cannot hear.
sound less than the frequency of 20 hz is called an infrasonic sound. only animals like whales, elephants and rhinos can hear it as it is beyond the audible range of humans.
infrasonic
Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic
The inaudible movements of an earthquake that you can feel in your feet and are recorded on seismographs.
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
The sound waves which are below the audible sound are called infrasonics(<20Hz) and The sound waves which are above the audible sound are called ultrasonics(>20KHz).
infrasonic
Sound below about 20 Hertz (20 cycles per second) is considered infrasonic. A link can be found below.
sound waves with frequencies 20 hertz or lower are infrasonic and waves above 20,000hertz are ultra sonic!
So that you can have fun in the water.

Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic
Animals that can hear infrasonic sounds are; frogs snakes ants dogs fishes whales beetles pigeons Usally, small animals can hear infrasonic sounds because they catches low frequency sound which is less than 20 Hz, especially insects. You may have observed that even if you walk very softly on the floor, animals like dogs feels your coming because they can hear infrasonic sounds.
Infrasonic.
The inaudible movements of an earthquake that you can feel in your feet and are recorded on seismographs.
The definition of infrasonic is relating to sound waves with a frequency below the limit of human hearing, 20 Hz. Ultrasonic relates to sound waves with a frequency above the limit of human hearing, 20,000 Hz.
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
The correct term for this is subsonic, not infrasonic. And yeah, I wouldn't want to go above the speed of sound in a hang glider! So, yes, they fly subsonic.
