Limitations in perception of frequency in human hearing correspond to physical structures of the cochlea in the inner ear, directly related to mechanical properties that dictate at which frequencies such structures can resonate. At the microscopic level this amounts to movements of tiny hairs in reaction to sound energy.

Why cant humans hear sounds of dolphins?

Humans cannot hear the high-frequency sounds produced by dolphins because their hearing range is different from ours. Dolphins communicate with each other using ultrasonic frequencies above the human hearing range, typically between 20-160 kHz, which is why we cannot hear their sounds.

Why we cant hear the sounds of frequency more than 20000 Hz. Reason?

These sounds have got a specific name. They are known as Ultrasounds. We can hear them, but the problem is that they cause the eardrum to vibrate too much and hence they are incomprehensible.
