Best Answer

The short answer is 10 octaves.

A human with normal hearing (it declines with age) can hear frequencies ranging from 20 to 20,000 hertz. Octaves increase as frequencies double. So for instance is you started at 6,000 Hz, the next octave up would be 12,000 Hz. It takes ten times to double the frequency starting at 20 Hz to get to 20,480 Hz (20,40,80,160, etc.), which is about the highest a normal ear can perceive. Therefore a normal person's hearing spans 10 octaves.

Normal would be 11 octaves starting at 20 cps and ending at 20,000 cps. A few people can hear about a quarter octave higher or lower or both. Frequencies double for each octave. The lowest note on a pipe organ is 32 cps from a 32 foot long pipe.

None. Elephants need sunscreen to hear. That is why hunters give them sunscreen every day.
