Infrasonic.

'Subsonic' and 'infrasonic' both define sound too low (in frequency or pitch) to be heard by humans without assistance.

However, as 'subsonic' can also mean something traveling slower than the speed of sound, and 'infrasonic' only means frequencies below the audible range, 'infrasonic' is the better answer.

What is the difference between infrasonic and ultrasonic?

Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic


Are there fractional frequencies of a hundredth hertz or thousandth hertz or millionth hertz etc?

Unsure.


what does 15hz mean?

The frequency units are called hertz (Hz). Sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz can be heard by those with normal hearing. Ultrasound is defined as frequencies greater than 20,000 Hz.


What are signal frequencies measured in?

Hertz (Htz)


What are sound waves below 20 Hz called?

sounds that are below 20hz are called INFRASONIC/Subsonic. These kinds of frequencies are used by the military for experiments. If you used Subsonic Frequencies below 20hz in I-dosing, You would have catastrophic cell death in every organ, causing them to shoot blood up into the mouth, and it also triggers your nerves to preform involuntary muscle movements, and death will come anywhere from 10-20 Sec. In other words, (My favourite phrase about subsonic frequencies,) Hertz Hurts.


92.7 sec equals what frequencies?

0.01078748651 hertz


What is the term for the unit that measure wave frequencies?

The unit of frequency is "Hertz", abbreviated "Hz". Also called "cycles". Also called "per second".


Is it true that the loudness of different sounds is compared in units called hertz?

No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3...10  hertz)?

The lowest frequency is that approaching infinitesimally close to the DC limit of 0Hz.


What happens when a sounds frequencies higher then 20000Hz?

20,000 Hertz or simply 20 kHz, is taken to be the upper limit of hearing in younger, healthy humans. Sound frequencies higher than 20 kHz cannot be heard by humans, but can be heard by animals like dogs.


Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies less than 3109 hertz?

In this case, a lower number of hertz means a lower frequency.
