Why can't humans hear the sound of a bat?
Bats use echolocation to sense movement and their surroundings. We cannot hear the high pitched noise they emit because it is of a higher frequency than the human ear can register. There are some sounds of a bat that we can hear, but the sounds that we can't hear is because the squeaks are so high that you really need ultrasound to hear it.
Why are children more likely to hear bats than adults?
Because children can hear higher frequencies, and a bat sound is usually very high pitched. A child may also not be able to hear it, if the bat has a particularly high voice. In theory, children can hear a maximum high pitch of 20,000Hz. This is only if the child's hearing is perfect, which, in most cases, it isn't. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that as you get older, your ability to hear high pitched sound gets worse.
What is good about bats ears?
What is good about bat ears is the they can pick up high frequency waves and they are useful for echolocation.
Why are people unable to hear a bat's cry give me the answer?
Bats cry in such a high pitch that we cannot process the frequency.
What animal has a high pitch sound?
The winged animal which can hear the highest pitched sound is the bat. Bats hunt and fly based on very high frequency signals.
How bats use sound to help them fly?
Bats use sonar to sense their surroundings. Sonar works by the bat making a high-pitched call and listening to the echo from nearby objects. So bats definitely do make a noise when they fly. Also, a bat's wings are not designed for stealth, so even if you do not recognise a bat's sonar call, then you would hear the wings beating when a bat flies close to you. In reality, nobody really thinks about the noise of bat's wings because of the noisy call.
What animal uses echo location to hear?
a bat does
How good can a spear nosed bat hear?
good
How far away can a bat hear?
200 kHz
What can hear the best?
The bat. It can "hear" sound waves produced by it's own voice. The shape of the waves change when they bounce off obstacles, so the bat literally navigates by it's ears.
Can you use echo location to hear for humans?
Not unless you're a bat
Which flying mammal makes sounds that humans are unable to hear?
bat
