What ultrasonic means?
anything above the frequencies of audible sound
What is subsonic sound?
Another term for this is infrasonic, and it means pertaining to below hearing. There natural frequencies that humans can hear which are high: 20,000 Hz and low: 20 Hz. An average human cannot hear sounds below the frequency of 20 Hz. That is subsonic. Subsonic is a term also applied to aircraft that travel at speeds less than the speed of sound. Supersonic means it travels faster than the speed of sound.
What is a mouse's frequency pitch?
Mice don't have a pure-tone pitch. The squeaks and whistles made by mice are polytonal (many different frequencies, changing all the time). However, they do exhibit a fairly definable range of pitches which will fall into (in human terms) "speech important frequencies." This means that mice generally don't generate wave forms (frequency profiles) that are significantly outside of the mouse's hearing ability.
What are sounds with frequencies below 20 hertz called?
Infrasonic.'Subsonic' and 'infrasonic' both define sound too low (in frequency or pitch) to be heard by humans without assistance.However, as 'subsonic' can also mean something traveling slower than the speed of sound, and 'infrasonic' only means frequencies below the audible range, 'infrasonic' is the better answer.
Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?
There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.
Describe the difference in the ranges of hearing of different animals?
Rabbits will be able to hear sounds from 360Hz to 42,000Hz meaning that humans can hear lower sounds than them but they can hear much higher.This also means that they can only hear harmonics when you are speaking. The voiced speech of a typical human adult male will have a fundamental frequency from 85 to 180 Hz, and that of a typical human adult female from 165 to 255 Hz.
What body systems does deafness affect?
Deafness is defined as partial or complete hearing loss. This means that deafness affects the auditory system of the human body.
Who do people learn better with audio or hearing?
Audio MEANS hearing.
What word means above human understanding?
This is the word transcendent. It comes from the Latin transcendentem, meaning "rising above" and is a form of the word transcendere.
What word means a professional who evaluates hearing and treats hearing loss?
audiologist
What word means denoting frequencies below the audible limit?
Infrasonic
What does the Pentagon symbol means?
The pentagon symbolizes the five human senses (as the pentagon has five points). These senses include sight, hearing, taste, touch, as well as smell.
