The Human hearing range IS the sonic range. Sounds which fall under the ultrasonic range are sounds which emit a higher frequency then we can hear (ie. dogs hear within this range). Infrasonic sounds emit lower frequencies then we can hear. The human hearing range or 'Sonic' range is between 16- 20 000 Hz, though changes with age
the range of sound frequencies that humans can hear is about0to200Hz
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and they are called Audible Range (Sonic Spectrum).
Domestic cats can hear sounds in the range of about 2 kHz to 65 kHz. The average hearing range for humans is about 02 kHz to 20 kHz. Therefore cats hear better than humans.
The same way we do - by using their ears ! Bats use ultra-sonic sound which is higher than the range humans can hear - their 'squeaks' bounce off objects, and prey and are reflected back to the bat so it can navigate in total darkness.
Infrasound ( below the range of human hearing ) Sonic Range ( within the range ofhuman hearing ) Ultrasound ( above range of human hearing )
typically 20-20000 Hz - but this range will decrease with age
because our hearing range isnt as big
we can not hear ultra sonic sounds because u can not hear them
the object isn't vibrating in a range for humans to hear.
As a hunter, dogs have evolved to have better hearing than humans. They can even hear voles/lemmings scurrying round under the snow!!
Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans can. This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more. Some animals can hear lower frequencies than humans can. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans.
The range humans can hear is about 20 - 20,000 Hz (20 Hz to 20 kHz); the range is smaller for older people.
