How far away can elephants hear?

Answer 1

The sound structure of elephants is very advanced. See, they can hear infrasound (i think it's called that) which is basically low rumbles that they can somehow send to each other. They can send them over long distances too, kind of like telephone calls. We can't hear them, by the way. Apparently African elephants can also detect the calls and foot stomps of other elephants through underground vibrations.
Elephants hear through their ears. Elephants ears have infrasound capabilities for long range communication.

Answer 2

An elephant's hearing is far better than a human's for many reasons.

Elephant ears are very large, particularly those of the African elephant. They help funnel sounds into the ear canal that wouldn't otherwise ordinarily find their way.

But an elephant's inner ear is better equipped to handle an array of sound sources than the human ear. For example, they can hear faster and slower sound vibrations than humans can.

Many sources and studies have documented that elephants use a low, slow sound to communicate over long distances. Humans cannot hear this sound with their naked ear, but elephants can use it to communicate with each other up to 50 miles away.

Man is not capable of hearing something 50 miles away except for possibly the most extreme circumstances that would be hard to identify.

Answer 3

Elephants have excellent hearing and can detect sounds from distances of more than 6 miles away. They use their large ears to pick up low-frequency sounds that travel long distances through the air and ground.

Answer 4

Elephants hearing is advanced they can hear low rumbles that they send to each other over long distances. We can't hear these low rumbles.

Answer 5

I figure about twenty, but that is just an estimated guess.

Answer 6

I'd say about 3/4 to 1 mile away.

Answer 7

maybe a mile away

Answer 8

they have different hearing range
