experiments, i would think that scientist would put them in a room and emit sounds at different wave lenghs to see if they respond or if there is a change in their behaviour. but that's just a guess :) also, bats are completely blind and rely on their hearing to navigate. that's where the phrase "blind as a bat" came from.

probably. their ears are very sensitive

Why cant you hear ultra sonic sound?

we can not hear ultra sonic sounds because u can not hear them


How Do Bats Hear Sound?

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.


Why do dogs and cats move their ears. How does the shape of their ear help them to hear sounds?

dogs and cats move their ears to hear from where the sound id comming.the ears of cats and dogs are out so when the sound waves hit the outside of the ears it rebounds back into the ears.


Which are those animals that move ears to hear sound?

Cats, dogs, rabbits...

bats can hear ultrasonic sound


Brief write up about ultrasonic sound?

"Ultrasonic" means higher frequency than humans can hear.Therefore, you can't hear it.Frequency too high for human ears.Dogs, cats, and bats can hear it if it's not toohigh.Short wavelength makes it good for imaging without radiation.Pictures made with ultrasonic sound are called "ultrasound" images.


What has better hearing cats or bats?

yes,ofcourse bats have better hearing then cat because they catch their prey with the help of ultra sonic sound waves while cats cannot hear ultra sonic waves up to the high as a bat does +++ . You can't confuse quality and function like that. All animals (including us) hear as they do, and as well as they need to do, for the life they lead in nature, so have a hearing band-width and sensitivity to suit. Ours is 20Hz - 20kHz, at most; with a maximum useful sound-pressure range of under 100dB re 20µPa. . Of cats and bats, I do not know which of the two animals has the more acute hearing, but I would think it is the cat as it has larger ears even if its frequency range and band-width are lower than the bat's. Yes, the bat has to detect and analyse extremely low sound pressure levels in the echoes of its chirps, when hunting by echo-location, but that does not make it better hearing by frequency. . Acuity, or sensitivity to level, in animals varies with frequency to some extent within each specie's band-width, but level is not a measure of frequency.


What animal can hear the highest frequency sound?

While dogs can hear high frequency sounds, BATS may hold the record. They use high frequency sound for navigation.actually there are 2. dolphins and miceBeluga Whaleand bats


When a plane flying over us exceeds the speed of sound we hear an energy release called a sonic?

Those are ultra sonic planes. There is a sonic boom if it is traveling with sound speed.


What animals can hear sounds that you can't?

Dogs Dolphins and bats can all hear things that humans cant and so can cats but only sometimes.dogs ganot hear pepole but the can here dog whistle that we hardly hear.


Is bats produce supersonic sound waves?

the bats do not produce supersonic sounds.they produce ultrasonic sounds.Thats the reason we cant hear them
