The ear of a child can perceive noises ranging from 16 to 20,000Hz (Hertz,) whilst the ear of an adult can only perceive noises from 20 to 16,000Hz. Some phone companies have invented a ringtone which uses a sound between 17,000 and 20,000Hz. As you grow older, the amount of hertz you can hear drops.
