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.

How is pitch related to wave speed?
The faster the wave speed, the higher the pitch of the sound will be. 20 vibrations is the lowest amount of vibrations needed per second for a human to be able to hear it
1 The lowest pitch that the average human can hear has a frequency of 20.0 Hz What is the wavelength of the wave if it has a speed of 331 ms?
With a speed of 331 m/s and a frequency of 20 Hz the wavelength is (331 m/s)/(20 Hz)=16,55 m .
When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
Would the pilot of an airplane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot does not hear the pressure wave that causes the boom when he is going faster than the speed of sound.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".

When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
Infrasonic wave and ultrasonic wave?
Infrasonic waves are waves which are below humans hearing range while ultrasonic waves are waves which human beings can hear. Example-bat,dog etc and human beings (respectively)
Would the pilot of an airplane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot does not hear the pressure wave that causes the boom when he is going faster than the speed of sound.
How can you hear?
you can hear by sound wave and ears
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
