What is Very Low Frequency?
It is infrasound, below 20 Hz, that we cannot hear, but feel.
What do you call a sound that you cannot hear?
Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
What are infrasound waves?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
What is the range of frequencies of infrasound?
Range of frequency associated with infrasound is less than 20Hz.
Is echolocation also known as infrasound?
No, infrasound is the frequency of sound that is too low for humans to hear, below 20 hertz, but is used for communicating by elephants and other animals. Echolocation is normally ultrasound, the frequency above our hearing range, higher than 20,000 hertz, and is used by bats and dolphins in echolocation.
Can humans hear infrasound?
yes
What is the low frequency sound which you cannot hear called?
infrasound

How ultrasound and infrasound differ from normal sound?
Sonic infrasound is a sound too low for humans to hear, below 20 Hertz. Ultrasound is a sound too high for humans to hear, above 20,000 Hertz.
Which is longer-wavelength of infrasound or ultrasound?
Infrasound has a longer wavelength.
What are infrasound waves?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
What sounds can't humans hear?
Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.
How can you record infrasound?
The same way you record normal sound. infra sound is the same as normal sound but our ears cannot hear it. a microphone would.
What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
What is the range of frequencies of infrasound?
Range of frequency associated with infrasound is less than 20Hz.
