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.

Is subsonic speed underwater?

Subsonic speed refers to speeds below the speed of sound in a medium. In water, the speed of sound is higher than in air, so typical speeds of objects moving through water are considered subsonic.


What is the difference between transonic and subsonic speeds?

Transonic speeds are when an object is moving near the speed of sound, experiencing a mix of subsonic and supersonic airflow. Subsonic speeds are when an object is moving at speeds below the speed of sound. At transonic speeds, airflow can become unpredictable, leading to effects like shock waves and buffeting.


Are sound waves with frequencies higher than 20 000 Hz referred to as subsonic waves?

No, sound waves with frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz are referred to as ultrasonic waves, not subsonic waves. Subsonic waves are sound waves with frequencies lower than 20 Hz.

What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?

The main difference is the speed of the object in relation to the speed of sound. Subsonic refers to speeds slower than the speed of sound, while supersonic refers to speeds faster than the speed of sound. In the case of supersonic speeds, objects are traveling faster than the speed at which sound waves propagate in the medium.
