What are sounds that cannot be heard by human beings?
They are called infrasonic sounds.
What Sounds that cannot be heard by human beings?
They are called infrasonic sounds.
How far can the animal be heard?
188 decibles
What is audible and inaudible sounds?
Inaudible sounds are sounds that you cannot hear. Audible sounds are sounds that you can hear. Frequencies capable of being heard by humans are called audio or sonic. The range is typically considered to be between 20Hz and 20,000Hz.[3] Frequencies higher than audio are referred to as ultrasonic, while frequencies below audio are referred to as infrasonic
Describe infrasonic and ultrasonic waves and explain why humans can not hear them?
The human ear cannot detect all possible frequencies. It has evolved to detect frequencies of sounds that are the most useful to humans, and has a maximum frequency range of about 20Hz to 20kHz, which decreases as you get older, particularly at the higher end. Infrasonic describes sounds that are too low in frequency to be heard by the human ear, and ultrasonic describes sounds that are too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear. These sounds cannot be heard by the human ear because they are outside of its range of capability.
Which type of sound wave is usually felt rather than heard?
The type of sound waves usually felt rather than heard are those with frequencies of less than 20 Hz.
Can we hear earthquakes why or why not?
No, earthquakes cannot be heard because the sound waves they produce are of very low frequency and do not travel efficiently through the air. People may sometimes hear noises during an earthquake caused by structures shaking or shifting, but these are not the actual sounds of the seismic waves.
How far away can an elephant talk with other elephants?
A surprisingly long distance as elephants are able to generate very low frequency sounds (i.e. infrasonic, frequencies that humans cannot hear at all) that can travel through the ground for many tens of miles and still be heard by other elephants.
What is the loudest known animal in the world?
The loudest mammal in the world is the Howler monkey.
What frequency of waves in the air can be heard as an audible sound by the human ear?
For the human ear, sound is audible in the range of 20 Hz (Hertz) to 20000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are "infrasonic" and have too low a frequency to be heard; sounds above 20000 Hz are "ultrasonic" and are too high a frequency to be heard.
Can overprotection cause safety hazards when warning signals cannot be heard?
That is always a concern and should be considered whenever selecting hearing protective devices.
Why does the cattle's ability to hear infrasonic frequencies contribute to a stampede?
The cattle's ability to hear infrasonic frequencies contributes to a stampede because these sounds are not heard by the cattle drivers and they are not able to react prior to the stampede. The continued sounds cause the cattle to keep running.
