Best Answer

There are two parameters regarding hearing ranges. One is frequency range, and the range of hearing is measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second. Another variable is the threshold of hearing. In other words, how loud does a sound at a given frequency have to be to be heard. That sound level is measured in decibels with respect to a reference level. The threshold level will vary with the pitch (frequency) of the sound, as you might have guessed.
