Humans hear sounds best in the 1,000 to 5,000 Hz range which is where speech is centered. That is why they chose the 1,000 Hz as the test tone. Being on the lower range it is more omnidirectional and can be heard easier than any other frequency. The term Hertz (Hz) comes from the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.

How does the speed at which an object vibrates impact the pitch of the sound that is produced?
It's not really the "speed", but the rate, or cycles per second, that matters - how often it moves back and forth. If an object vibrates at a certain rate, for example 1000 Hz (cycles per second), then it will tend to produce a sound that also has a frequency of 1000 Hz.
A wave having a frequency of 1000 hertz vibrates at?
1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.
Which instrument is more accurate at 500 HZ and 5000 HZ?
5000 hz....the sound will be more clear??
What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Sound waves audible to the human ear?
20 hz to 20,000 Hz
What comes after 1000 Hertz?
Any frequency greater than 1000 cycles per second "comes after" 1000 Hertz. It could be 1001 Hz, or 1048 Hz, or 20,000 Hz, or 1000.00001 Hz. Or 1,000,050,002 Hz. You get the picture. And frequency greater than 1000 Hz will come after it, whether it is a tiny fraction of a cycle per second, or many multiples of the original frequency.
Is there anything like types of sound energy?
Just like electromagnetic waves, sound can come at different frequencies; the properties of the sound change, depending on the frequency. The basic classification used reflects what we can hear: audible sound (about 20-20,000 Hz), ultrasound (above 20,000 Hz), and infrasound (anything below 20 Hz).
Which of the following frequencies can be heard by the human ear -- a. 0.1 Hz b. 10 Hz c. 1000 Hz or d. 100000 Hz?
1000 Hz. The others are outside the range of human hearing. You can feel 10 Hz but not hear it. C. 1,000 Hz

What is audio sound?
Audio sound is sound which human beings can hear. That is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz for HiFi.

1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.1000 Hz means 1000 vibrations per second.
How far does the frequency of 1000 Hz travel in one second?
That depends upon what the 1000 Hz is, along with the medium through which the 1000 Hz is traveling. The speed of most waves is not dependent on frequency. If that is 1000 Hz of electromagnetic radiation, then its speed (in a vacuum) is approx 3x108 m/s meaning in 1 second it travels approx 3x108 m or approx 186000 miles. It travels at this speed regardless of the frequency. If it is sound in air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, then its speed is approx 343 m/s so in 1 second it travels 343 m. Through solid objects, sound travels much faster.
Are frequency units labeled as Hz?
Hz is hertz which measures sound.
What is sound frequency?
That is the range of audibility from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz.
When a sound wave with a frequency of 256 Hz overlaps with a sound wave with a frequency of 250 Hz what would the frequency of the beats be?
There should be two beat frequencies produced: 506 Hz and 6 Hz.
Which instrument is more accurate at 500 HZ and 5000 HZ?
5000 hz....the sound will be more clear??
What is the difference between the sound waves and ultrasound?
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
