What can a vampire bat hear?

Vampire bats use echolocation, but they can hear what we hear, and more. They have an acute sense of hearing in the high frequency range, detecting up to 113 kHz, compared to the average human's hearing which can comfortably detect up to about 17 kHz. Vampire bats use this high frequency, or ultrasonic, hearing to analyse echolocation, meaning the echoes of their biosonar calls. Vampire bats are different from other bats in that they also have exceptional low frequency hearing. For audio clips on what vampire bats can hear compared to humans and to other bats, see the related link below.
