Why can some animals hear sounds that humans can not hear?
Because each animal has a different range of sensitivity for sound frequencies; also not all the human beings are identical.
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 do animals hear different to humans?
How is animal hearing different then humans?
Can all animals hear the same sound?
All animals have different sensitivities of hearing. Different animals hear different sounds. Like a dog. A dog has one of the most sensitive hearing levels. That's what dog whistles were meant to do. They were supposed to make it so humans can't hear it but dogs can.
How far can birds hear?
The range of frequencies that whales use are from 30 Hertz (Hz) to about 8,000 Hz, (8 kHZ). Humans can only hear part of the whales' songs. We aren't able to hear the lowest of the whale frequencies. Humans hear low frequency sounds starting at about 100 Hz.
Why do animals hear different frequencies?
Because they have different shapes and anatomy of ears which are adapted for their environment and serve them different purposes.
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.
Why can some animals hear sounds that humans can not hear?
Because each animal has a different range of sensitivity for sound frequencies; also not all the human beings are identical.
Do all animals see the same frequencies of visible light as humans do Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as humans do?
no bats and many marine animals can hear high frequency noises We can't. Most other animals can't
Can animals can hear sounds of higher frequencies then humans?
Many species can, including dogs and bats.
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 animals can hear the widest range of frequencies - Dog Cat Human Mouse Elephant Bullfrog?
dog
What is the highest frequency that can be detected by dogs?
It depends on the individual dog and also on its race. Many animals can hear ultrasonic frequencies; dogs, for example, can hear sounds as high as 50,000 Hz, and bats can detect frequencies as high as 100,000 Hz.
Frequencies to low for people to hear are called what?
"Subaudible" frequencies.
Can different animals hear different loudnesses of sounds from humans?
yes
What do animals hear different to humans?
How is animal hearing different then humans?
Why are tones of different frequency used during hearing tests?
Simply because the human ear can detect many thousands of different frequencies (typically 50Hz to 20,000Hz) Testing someone's hearing ability over a range of frequencies determines whether they can hear the normal spectrum of sound or not. As we get older - our hearing starts to fade - and we no longer hear the higher or low frequencies at the edge of the normal range.
