20,000 Hertz or simply 20 kHz, is taken to be the upper limit of hearing in younger, healthy humans. Sound frequencies higher than 20 kHz cannot be heard by humans, but can be heard by animals like dogs.

Objects that vibrate with a high frequency produce sounds with a high what?
Higher frequencies produce the perception of higher pitch sound. A woman's voice generally contains sounds with higher frequencies than a man's voice contains. An infant's voice contains higher frequencies than an adult's voice does.
Are sound waves with frequencies higher than 20 000 Hz referred to as subsonic waves?
No. Such sounds are suprsonic sounds.
What is the frequency range of audible noise?
The answer to the question varies from species to species. In case of Humans it is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. But some other organisms especially animals of prey have very accute sense of hearing and they can listen to very faint and diffused sounds. For example Dogs have a very acute auditory sense and so they can discern sounds of even higher than 20,000 Hz.
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
Which sound have the highest pitch?
The one with highest frequency. The limit of human hearing is 20khz. Sounds can be made at much higher frequencies.
What sounds are to high for a human hear?
anything over 20000hz
Objects that vibrate with a high frequency produce sounds with a high what?
Higher frequencies produce the perception of higher pitch sound. A woman's voice generally contains sounds with higher frequencies than a man's voice contains. An infant's voice contains higher frequencies than an adult's voice does.
What is the relative highness lowness or sameness of sound?
The relative highness or lowness of sound is referred to as pitch. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher-pitched, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower-pitched. Sounds with the same frequency are perceived as having the same pitch.
Are sound waves with frequencies higher than 20 000 Hz referred to as subsonic waves?
No. Such sounds are suprsonic sounds.
What is audible and inaudible sounds?
Inaudible sounds are sounds that you cannot hear. Audible sounds are sounds that you can hear. Frequencies capable of being heard by humans are called audio or sonic. The range is typically considered to be between 20Hz and 20,000Hz.[3] Frequencies higher than audio are referred to as ultrasonic, while frequencies below audio are referred to as infrasonic
Can animals can hear sounds of higher frequencies then humans?
Many species can, including dogs and bats.
Does the whistle of a tea kettle have greater frequency than a drum beat?
Yes it does. Higher pitched sounds have higher frequencies than lower pitched sounds.
Are high frequencies heard as deep sounds?
No, high frequencies are heard as high pitched treble sounds.
Why do lower frequency sounds reach the end of the inner ear which is called the apex and higher frequencies don't?
they have longer wavelength
What is the pitch tone?
Pitch tone refers to the perceived frequency of a sound. It is how high or low a sound is perceived to be by the human ear. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher in pitch, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower in pitch.
