What is the spectrum of sound?
it is not bound but the human ear can only hear from 20Hz - 20'000Hz
What do you call a sound that you cannot hear?
Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
What is the Difference between pleasant and unpleasant sounds?
Pleasant sounds are nice to hear and unpleasant sounds are not nice to hear.
What is the frequency range of most people with good hearing?
The maximum human hearing range is 20Hz to 20,000Hz. 20Hz is actually more felt than heard, though a trained musician can identify the pitch at 20Hz. Only very young children and dogs can clearly hear a pitch at 20kHz, generally, and every human's ability to hear very high frequencies gradually shifts downward with age - that is normal. Even the very elderly, barring other hearing problems, can still generally hear from 40Hz to 4kHz as a minimum - about six and one-half octaves. Generally, a healthy adult can hear clearly in a range of 30-15,000Hz into their sixth decade of life.
Describe infrasonic and ultrasonic waves and explain why humans can not hear them?
The human ear cannot detect all possible frequencies. It has evolved to detect frequencies of sounds that are the most useful to humans, and has a maximum frequency range of about 20Hz to 20kHz, which decreases as you get older, particularly at the higher end. Infrasonic describes sounds that are too low in frequency to be heard by the human ear, and ultrasonic describes sounds that are too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear. These sounds cannot be heard by the human ear because they are outside of its range of capability.
Can komodo dragons hear well?
No, actually they hear less than humans. They can hear frequencies beetwen 400Hz and 2000Hz, as humans can hear a bigger interval, from 20Hz to 20000Hz
What sounds are to high for a human hear?
anything over 20000hz
What is the hearing range of human being?
the hearing range of human being is from 20hz to 20000hz
What are sound conclusions?
sound is a mechanical wave.Sound can be of two types :music and noise. sound gets reflected. we need about 300 metres for a good echo to be heard. there are audible and inaudible sounds. audible from 20Hz to 20000Hz.below 20Hz and above 20000Hz are inaudible sounds.There are infrasonic and ultrasonic sounds.
What sounds can't humans hear?
Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.
What is audible and inaudible sounds?
Inaudible sounds are sounds that you cannot hear. Audible sounds are sounds that you can hear. Frequencies capable of being heard by humans are called audio or sonic. The range is typically considered to be between 20Hz and 20,000Hz.[3] Frequencies higher than audio are referred to as ultrasonic, while frequencies below audio are referred to as infrasonic
What is the spectrum of sound?
it is not bound but the human ear can only hear from 20Hz - 20'000Hz
What are the below audible frequency sounds?
Sounds below human's lowest audible frequency of 20Hz are known as Infrasound.
Introduction of ultrasonic?
we know that human ear can not hear sounds of frequency less than 20Hz or more than about 20,000 Hz . Sounds of frequency higher than 20,000 Hz , which are inaudible to human ear, can be produced and are utilized in many useful ways. Such sounds are called ultrasonics
What do you call a sound that you cannot hear?
Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
What happens when you reduce the freqency of a sound wave?
Below a certain frequency you won't hear it- depends on individual but about 20Hz
What is the audible range of the average human ear?
Technically the potential hearing range of a human includes sounds from 20 hertz to 20,000 hertz. The average person's hearing range is usually between 20 Hz to 20 kHz (or 20,000 Hz). However, this varies from person to person and also declines with age.
