∙ 11y agoHumans can't hear ultrasound or above. I don't know the frequencies but if you find out what ultrasound is, then it will be anything higher than that.

Frequencies too high-pitched for the human ear to hear?
Ultrasonic Frequencies
How does a dolphins hear?
Dolphins "hear" using echolocation, which uses high pitched frequencies sent out by the dolphin. They hit an object and bounce back telling the dolphin what's there. Dolphins are unable to hear human voices because the frequencies are too low, they can only hear high pitched frequencies. They also can hear into a threshold that is so high pitched that even a dog cannot hear. Or threshold of hearing goes from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. They can hear from .25 Hz to 150 kHz, which is so high pitched, even the youngest of all humans cannot hear. They hear by collecting the in their jawbone, which transfers the sound waves into the inner ear, and then the brain analyzes that information very very quickly, drawing a picture that looks like an x-ray.
What Ares sounds that are to high pitched for the human ear to hear called?
Ultrasound.
Are high frequencies heard as deep sounds?
No, high frequencies are heard as high pitched treble sounds.
Are painted turtles deaf?
No. Painted turtles hear a smaller range of sounds than humans, only the low frequencies, with no capability for high pitched sounds.
Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?
Low-pitched sounds have a lower frequency.
Why are children more likely to hear bats than adults?
Because children can hear higher frequencies, and a bat sound is usually very high pitched. A child may also not be able to hear it, if the bat has a particularly high voice. In theory, children can hear a maximum high pitch of 20,000Hz. This is only if the child's hearing is perfect, which, in most cases, it isn't. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that as you get older, your ability to hear high pitched sound gets worse.
Can you hear high pitched or lower pitched sounds better underwater?
high pitched better not
What mammal makes sounds people cant hear?
Bats. They are blind and use echolocation to navigate when they are flying. They emit high pitched sounds humans ears are unable to hear. The sound frequency in a human voice is too low pitched for them to hear.
What can't a person hear if they have high frequency hearing loss?
There are many things a person can't hear if they have high frequency hearing loss. They can't hear high frequencies.
Why does dolphin trainer use a high pitch whistle rather than a normal whistle?
Because a dolphin's ear frequency is higher than a normal human's, so they have to have higher pitched whistles so the dolphins can here them better. Plus, high sound frequencies can travel underwater easier so dolphins can hear them.
What does pitch mean in speech?
For speech, as for music, pitch means the frequency of the sound your voice is producing. High frequencies produce a high-pitched voice, and low frequencies produce low-pitched voices. On average, women's voices are pitched about an octave higher than men's.
