The human ear can detect a wide range of frequencies. The lowest frequencies are around 16 to 20 Hertz while the highest can be as much 20,000 Hertz. As we get older, our high frequency limit tends to reduce so an older person may only hear sounds up to around 15,000 Hertz.
In this case, a lower number of hertz means a lower frequency.
Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing.
Sound waves with frequencies below 20hertz are called infrasonic, while those with frequencies above20000 hertz are called ultrasonic
Hearing Range of frequencies for humar ears if from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Audio (sound) frequencies above the range of the human ear. This is generally said to be above 20,000 hertz.
Hearing Range of frequencies for humar ears if from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Unsure.

The frequencies on which sonar is used vary widely. Human hearing is usually cited as ranging as from 20 cycles per second (Hertz) to 20,000 cycles per second. There are many sonars that use frequencies in the 20 to 20,000 Hertz range. In general, the sonars that are used for short range underwater applications operate on a slightly higher frequency than those that are designed to look over long distances. But there are a lot of sonars which use frequencies far outside the range of human hearing. Medical imaging is the most popular use of sonar. The range of frequencies used by these devices range from 2 million cycles per second to 18 million cycles per second. These frequencies are far above what humans can hear.
The human ear can detect a wide range of frequencies. The lowest frequencies are around 16 to 20 Hertz while the highest can be as much 20,000 Hertz. As we get older, our high frequency limit tends to reduce so an older person may only hear sounds up to around 15,000 Hertz.
In this case, a lower number of hertz means a lower frequency.
