yes, animals hear thousands of high pitched noises that we cant hear at all. hope this helps :)


Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?

There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.


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.


Do animals hear the same as humans?

Animals can hear a wider range of frequencies than humans, but the basic mechanism of hearing is similar in both. Animals like dogs can hear higher frequencies while animals like elephants can hear lower frequencies compared to humans. Additionally, some animals may have adaptations that enhance their ability to hear, such as larger ears or a better sense of hearing in certain environments.


Can animals hear the same sounds?

The sounds animals can hear is based on the frequency that the certain animal can hear. For example, dog's can hear at much higher frequencies then humans can, so if a sound is made that is above our capability of hearing, we will not hear the sound, but the dog will.

Can humans hear high frequency?

Yes, humans can hear high frequencies up to around 20,000 Hz. Beyond this range, our ability to hear diminishes. The range of audible frequencies varies among individuals due to factors such as age and exposure to loud noises.


How can humans hear?

humans hear from there ears.


Why cant humans hear sounds of dolphins?

Humans cannot hear the high-frequency sounds produced by dolphins because their hearing range is different from ours. Dolphins communicate with each other using ultrasonic frequencies above the human hearing range, typically between 20-160 kHz, which is why we cannot hear their sounds.


Do all animals hear souds in the same way as humans?

no some animals like dogs hear in high frequencys which is why they respond well to whistling


Do high frequency sounds affect animals?

It depends on the type of animal. Dogs can hear a higher frequency than humans, which is the concept behind a dog whistle. Elephants can hear lower sounds than humans.
