Why do animals hear different frequencies?
Because they have different shapes and anatomy of ears which are adapted for their environment and serve them different purposes.
Can dogs hear ultrasonic sounds?
Yes, dogs can hear ultrasonic sounds that are beyond the range of human hearing.
How do dogs hear sounds that humans don't hear?
Dogs can hear sounds we can't hear because the human ear can hear from 20-2000 Hertz. Dogs instead can hear higher/lower. It's all because of the hearing and how many hertz we can hear.
Can dogs hear mouse repellers?
Yes, dogs can hear the high-frequency sounds emitted by mouse repellers.
Can dogs hear low pitched sounds?
yes
What animals can hear sounds with too high a frequency for humans to hear?
Most animals can, but dogs can definitely hear them.
Which breeds-of-dogs have the best-hearing?
AnswerTo my knowledge there is no particular list of dog breeds that have better hearing than any other breed. It is indicated the Terrier breeds (similar to the ears of fox) hear much better than dogs with ears that go down. Dogs detect sounds as low as 16 - 20 Hz frequency range compared to 20 - 70 Hz in humans. Dogs also have more mobility of the ears and can quickly pinpoint the source of the sound. 18 or more muscles can tilt, raise, lover or rotate a dog's ears. If your dog barks and YOU hear nothing your dog can hear much further than you can and it can be a few blocks or more they hear the sound.
How sensitive is a dog's hearing?
Humans can hear approximately 64-23,000 Hz sounds, dogs hear about 67-45,000 Hz sounds.
Can dogs hear rodent repellers?
Yes, dogs can hear rodent repellers because they are sensitive to high-frequency sounds that these devices emit.
How do dogs hear?
They can hear low sounds about as well as humans (40 Hz, compared to our 20 Hz), and can hear sounds that are a quite a bit higher (60,000 Hz, compared to our 20,000 Hz). They are more sensitive to loud sounds - loud noises that humans can tolerate may be painful to dogs. The flipside of this is that they can hear sounds that are 4 times farther away.
Audible sounds dogs hear but humans cant?
As a hunter, dogs have evolved to have better hearing than humans. They can even hear voles/lemmings scurrying round under the snow!!
Why can dogs hear more sounds than humans?
Yes. "Dog's sense of hearing has an almost equally important role within their world. Not only do dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing that can hear a wide range of sounds but they also have the ability to pin point the exact origin of the sound, discriminate between sounds and make a accurate interpretation of the sound, and decided whether it is threatening or non-threatening. As dog's ears are able to move in different directions, it is easier for dogs to pinpoint the exact location of a sound's origin. The frequencies that dogs can perceive and hear are almost twice that of humans and they can pick up and distinguish sounds at roughly 4 times the range of humans. Dogs have specially designed inner ears that allow them to have this incredible ability and their ears operate almost like radars. Not only do dogs hear the sounds but also perceive the height and depth of the sounds that they hear. Dogs also have the ability to hear ultra high frequencies that humans cannot and many professional dog handlers and trainers use this ability to their advantage by teaching them and training them to respond to different commands given on whistles that produce ultra high frequency sounds.
