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.


What name is given to the sounds which a cat can hear but a human cannot?

Sound with a frequency lower than about 20 cycles per second, called infrasonic sound. Sound with a frequency higher than about 20,000 cycles per second, called ultrasonic sound. Only those with excellent hearing can perceive sound at these extremes. As we age and as our hearing is damaged by exposure to loud sounds, the frequency range of hearing is reduced. Some animals can hear sounds above and below the range of humans.


What animal hear the lowest frequency?

A Pigeon has the lowest hearing Frequency at .1 Hz.


What is the loudest sound a human can hear?

20,000 Hz (20kHz) is the (ideal) highest FREQUENCY that a healthy human ear can hear. With regard to loud sounds, a sound LEVEL of 120 decibel (dB) causes pain, and a level of 140 dB causes deafness.


What is an apparent change in frequency of a sound source that moves relative to an observer?

The Doppler Effect. It's a change in frequency cause by the motion of the sound source, the motion of the listener, or both. As a source of sound approaches, observers hear a higher frequency. When the sound source moves away, observers hear a lower frequency. This effect was discovered by an Austrian scientist named Christian Doppler. Example: An ambulance siren. As the ambulance approaches a stationary observer, the frequency seems to increase. As the ambulance moves farther away, the loudness of the siren seems to decrease.
