Best Answer

The maximum human hearing range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. 20Hz is actually more felt than heard, though a trained musician can identify the pitch at 20Hz. Only very young children and dogs can clearly hear a pitch at 20kHz, generally, and every human's ability to hear very high frequencies gradually shifts downward with age - that is normal. Even the very elderly, barring other hearing problems, can still generally hear from 40Hz to 4kHz as a minimum - about six and one-half octaves. Generally, a healthy adult can hear clearly in a range of 30-15,000Hz into their sixth decade of life.

Speaker frequency range or response is the range of frequencies that a speaker can play back sound in with a good amount of gain.


Why is the ac frequency in the range 20 Hz to 20 kHz called audio frequency?

Because the theoretical hearing limits of the human ear (in very young people who do not listen to loud music) is 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz. People with extremely good ears can hear musical tones as low as 20 Hz and as high as 20 kHz.

Can you hear a dog whistle if you blow on it really hard?

"no because a dog whistles frequency is so high that no person can hear it no matter how hard you blow" You could possibly hear some sound... most dog whistles work in the range of 16-22 kHz and the human hearing range tops out around 20kHz so if your hearing is very good it may be possible to hear the whistle's lower frequencies.


How good is a cat's hearing?

A cats' hearing is much more sensitive than humans and dogs. A domestic dog's hearing range is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, where is it thought that a cat's is 45 Hz to 64,000 Hz. This is compared to a human's hearing range of about 64 Hz to 23,000 Hz.
