Technically the potential hearing range of a human includes sounds from 20 hertz to 20,000 hertz.
The average person's hearing range is usually between 20 Hz to 20 kHz (or 20,000 Hz). However, this varies from person to person and also declines with age.

At how many cycles per second does a human vibrate?
A human typically vibrates at a frequency range of 12-20 cycles per second, known as the human audible range. This range corresponds to the frequencies of sound waves that the human ear can detect as audible sound.
How much does an average human ear weigh?
The average size of a 'male' human ear is 63 Millimetres tall, (6.3 Centimeteres)
What were ear thermometers used for?
Ear Thermometers are used to take a person's internal temperature via the ear. The average human's normal temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is potentially harmful to the human ear?
Sounds greater than 90 dB can be harmful to the human ear. Rock concerts average about 110 to 120 decibels. A jet plane taking off measures from 120 to 160 decibels.
What main regioin of the human ear contains the ear canal?
Outer ear
Frequencies below the range audible to the human ear are classified as?
Infrasonic
What is the difference between audible and inaudible sound waves?
The difference is that an audible sound can be heard, an inaudible can't. The human ear can detect vibrations between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second (for a young person; for an old person the range is less), so that range would be audible, anything outside that range is inaudible.The difference is that an audible sound can be heard, an inaudible can't.

What is the lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear?
The lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear is about 20 Hz. This frequency is below the range of what is considered audible to humans and is often felt more than heard. Generally the range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz vibrations can still be felt but are not audible to the human ear.
What frequency of waves in the air can be heard as an audible sound by the human ear?
For the human ear, sound is audible in the range of 20 Hz (Hertz) to 20000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are "infrasonic" and have too low a frequency to be heard; sounds above 20000 Hz are "ultrasonic" and are too high a frequency to be heard.
What frequency of a wave in the air can be heard as an audible sound by the human ear?
For the human ear, sound is audible in the range of 20 Hz (Hertz) to 20000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are "infrasonic" and have too low a frequency to be heard; sounds above 20000 Hz are "ultrasonic" and are too high a frequency to be heard.
Sound waves audible to the human ear?
20 hz to 20,000 Hz
What is the study of mechanical vibrations above the range audible to the human ear?
Ultrasonics. They are used in SONAR to range distance. Listening in on the ultrasonic band you can "hear" things you would have never guessed made any sound.
What is the range of the human ear?
The audible range varies with age and noise exposure. In frequency, it runs from about 20Hz to about 20 000Hz.In loudness it runs from below 0dB, up to about 120dB.Note since these are average figures, one-half of the folk have more sensitive hearing, and one-half have less sensitive.
What is the audible range of humans?
The human ear can pick up sounds ranging between approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Hz is Hertz, and 1 Hertz = 1 cycle/second
What is ulrtasonic?
1. Of or relating to acoustic frequencies above the range audible to the human ear, or above approximately 20,000 hertz.2. Of, relating to, or involving ultrasound.3. Or faster than the speed of sound.
Which frequency is not audible to human ear?
The upper and lower limits of audibility are somewhat different for each individual, and often even for the two ears of the same individual. The range of audible frequencies is usually considered to be from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Frequencies lower than 20 or higher than 20,000 are inaudible to most people.
What is audible range?
The audible range is the lowest and the highest pitch sound we can hear. So for the human ear it would be 20Hz to 20,000Hz. More Information...
