A Dog has exceptional hearing
There are quite a few animals that can hear higher frequencies than humans. Some of those animals include dogs, cats, dolphins, and porpoises.

To add to the list, the echo-locating species of bats are the real champions of ultrasound, with some using complex wide-band chirps significantly over 100kHz, and at high call repetition-rates, to home in on a prey insect. Not only emitting these calls, but hearing and analysing the faint echoes fast enough, in no more than a few grammes of brain, to control the flight. Their social calls (to each other) are generally lower, commonly around a modest 50kHz. Their location / hunting call intensity can be remarkably high too: some bats call at >100dB re 20 micro-Pascals, a sound pressure level which if persistent at human audio frequencies (<20kHz) would endanger our hearing. Despite this intensity, their power is very low: bats are only wee furry little creatures after all!

Bats would be the first on the list. In order for them to compensate for their poor eyesight they would need a very sensitive hearing. Bats, depending on the species, can hear from 10Khz to utmost 250kz. It would be very amazing since human beings can hear, at its peak, up to 18Khz-20Khz, and as low as 12Khz under an ideal laboratory conditions. Basically, bats use this advantage to capture insects producing a sound of which they assess the echo when it bounces back.

∙ 12y agoyes they can as the have a different shape ears for eg a dog can hear higher pitch even thoug they have there ears flopping ive and a cat has sensitive ears and could hear a pin drop in a crowded romm they are that sensitive

What are two animals that can hear lower frequency sounds than a human?
Both whales and elephants can hear extremely low frequency sounds.
What are infrasound?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
Why do elephants need to hear better then other animals?
elephants need to hear better because they communicate* in a lower frequency which means we cant hear them communicate* but they need better ears so they can hear each other *they communicate in low frequency drone's like bird tweeting except they are a lot lower and we cant hear them
What are infrasound waves?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
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.
What animals can hear sounds with too high a frequency for humans to hear?
Most animals can, but dogs can definitely hear them.
What will you hear if the frequency of the sound is decreased?
A lower note.
Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as human do?
Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans can. This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more. Some animals can hear lower frequencies than humans can. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans.
The highest frequency sound human ears can usually hear is about?
The average human can hear frequencies of up to 20,000 Hertz.
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.
Can animals hear what you can't?
yes, animals have a much higher frequency range than humans
What is the range of frequency human can hear?
2 Hz to 20 KHz .
