20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz is the frequency response range that a human can hear. So in answer to your question 20 Hertz would be the lowest pitch a human can hear.
No, infrasound is the frequency of sound that is too low for humans to hear, below 20 hertz, but is used for communicating by elephants and other animals. Echolocation is normally ultrasound, the frequency above our hearing range, higher than 20,000 hertz, and is used by bats and dolphins in echolocation.
I would throw in that the drums cover the widest frequency range - you pretty much cover the entire spectrum from the low end of the kick to the high end of the hi-hats/cymbols
Humans hear sounds best in the 1,000 to 5,000 Hz range which is where speech is centered. That is why they chose the 1,000 Hz as the test tone. Being on the lower range it is more omnidirectional and can be heard easier than any other frequency. The term Hertz (Hz) comes from the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.
Frequency of a sound wave depends on the bandwidth of the sound and the source of sound. There are some range of frequencies people can hear. The sounds that ranges from about 20 to about 17,000 hertz. To know more visit http://www.wyzant.com http://www.tutorz.com/find-a-tutor
There is no such thing as a "frequency above hertz". Whatever the frequency, it will always be measured in Hertz.There is no such thing as a "frequency above hertz".

Color is the frequency of visible light. The visible light wave range in frequency from 430 trillion hertz, which is red light, to 750 trillion hertz, or violet light.?æ

One hertz is equal to one cycle per second. The hertz is named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). In the computer, 10 MHZ is ten million cycles per second. This stream of "pulses" might be used as a clock to orderly conduct a sequence of events (like run a computer program).
Sonic infrasound is a sound too low for humans to hear, below 20 Hertz. Ultrasound is a sound too high for humans to hear, above 20,000 Hertz.
Hertz is the measurement of cycles per second. The range that microprocessors use for personal computers are currently: Megahertz Gigahertz

The hertz, named after Heinrich Hertz, is a measure of frequency. It means cycles per second. In mathematical terminology its 1/s or s^-1. Giga is the same standard SI prefix meaning 10^9. So 1 gigahertz is 1,000,000,000 (cycles) per second. The FCC has a 'hole' in the frequency spectrum opened up for 'free range' use around 2.4 GHz. This is why most all modern devices you see operate in this range. A good general overview of frequencies is over at wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz
To expand on LincMad's statement: The frequency range of a voice-grade telephone circuit is 300 to 3100 Hertz. The frequency range of your stereo is 20 to 20,000 Hertz. They use the narrower bandwidth on a phone system so they can pack more phone calls into the same cable.A telephone transmits only a very limited range of audio frequencies, optimized for speech. Thus, all the high and low notes in music get lost over a telephone connection.
The hearing range of a Zebra is estimated to be over 1 mile. Their good sense of smell and sight is what helps them survive in the wild.
Range of frequency associated with infrasound is higher than 20,000Hz.
