A sound that measures decibels is 1000 times louder than the threshold of hearing?

The threshold of hearing varies between individuals, but is commonly taken as 0dB. About one-half of the (undamaged, young, non noise-exposed, ... ...) people will have hearing better than the threshold, and the other half will hear worse than the threshold. But to the point, 10dB is 10 times, 20 dB is 100 times, and 30 dB is 1000 times.


What is infrared sound?

Infrared belongs to the invisible colors and not to sound. But there is infrasound and ultrasound. Infrasound is sound with a frequency too low to be heard by the human ear. The study of such sound waves is sometimes referred to as infrasonics, covering sounds beneath the lowest limits of human hearing (20 hertz) down to 0.001 hertz. This frequency range is utilized by seismographs for monitoring earthquakes. Infrasound is characterized by an ability to cover long distances and get around obstacles with little dissipation. Ultrasound is cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing. Although this limit varies from person to person, it is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy, young adults and thus, 20 kHz serves as a useful lower limit in describing ultrasound.


What is the frequency range of most people with good hearing?

The maximum human hearing range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. 20Hz is actually more felt than heard, though a trained musician can identify the pitch at 20Hz. Only very young children and dogs can clearly hear a pitch at 20kHz, generally, and every human's ability to hear very high frequencies gradually shifts downward with age - that is normal. Even the very elderly, barring other hearing problems, can still generally hear from 40Hz to 4kHz as a minimum - about six and one-half octaves. Generally, a healthy adult can hear clearly in a range of 30-15,000Hz into their sixth decade of life.


The upper range of human hearing is approximately Hz.?

The human hearing range is commonly given as 20 to 20,000 Hz, though there is considerable variation between individuals, especially at high frequencies, and a gradual loss of sensitivity to higher frequencies with age is considered normal.


What pitch is high frequency?

What we consider a "high pitched frequency" is the upper end of our normal hearing range. The normal hearing range of human beings is roughly 10 hertz to 25,000 hertz. Sound is transmitted from point to point by series of compressions of air. The number of these compression packs in any given second is a hertz (also referred to as cycles per second). Low frequencies (pitches) take more power to produce compared to higher frequencies. An interesting phenomenon in humans is that as we age we lose the ability to sense the upper range of our hearing. There are now phone ring tones that only young people can hear, because us old folks have lost the ability to hear the sound.
