What is the lowest pitch a human can hear?
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.
What decibel range can a human hear in?
We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
How many hertz does a whisle have to have in order for a human to hear it?
The nominal human hearing range is 20-20,000 Hz.
What is the range of frequency that the human can hear and what term do you give that range of frequencies?
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and they are called Audible Range (Sonic Spectrum).
What wave speed can human hear?
It is not the speed that matters, but the frequency. Human ears can hear frequencies between about 20 and 20,000 Hz (vibrations per second). In older people, this range becomes less.
Can humans hear the sonic range?
The Human hearing range IS the sonic range. Sounds which fall under the ultrasonic range are sounds which emit a higher frequency then we can hear (ie. dogs hear within this range). Infrasonic sounds emit lower frequencies then we can hear. The human hearing range or 'Sonic' range is between 16- 20 000 Hz, though changes with age
What is the lowest pitch a human can hear?
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.
What frequencies can different animals hear?
Infrasound ( below the range of human hearing ) Sonic Range ( within the range ofhuman hearing ) Ultrasound ( above range of human hearing )
What is the range of frequency human can hear?
2 Hz to 20 KHz .
What decibel range can a human hear in?
We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
How many hertz does a whisle have to have in order for a human to hear it?
The nominal human hearing range is 20-20,000 Hz.
What is another word for inaudible?
silent or silenced. Beyond the range of human hearing.
What is the range of frequency that the human can hear and what term do you give that range of frequencies?
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and they are called Audible Range (Sonic Spectrum).
What wave speed can human hear?
It is not the speed that matters, but the frequency. Human ears can hear frequencies between about 20 and 20,000 Hz (vibrations per second). In older people, this range becomes less.
What animals can hear the widest range of frequencies - Dog Cat Human Mouse Elephant Bullfrog?
dog
What are sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
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.
