Because children can hear higher frequencies, and a bat sound is usually very high pitched. A child may also not be able to hear it, if the bat has a particularly high voice. In theory, children can hear a maximum high pitch of 20,000Hz. This is only if the child's hearing is perfect, which, in most cases, it isn't. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that as you get older, your ability to hear high pitched sound gets worse.

In some cases this is true, due to ageing an adults ears may be a little damaged while the child's ears are still growing and new.

Are there any sounds produced that humans find difficult to hear?

Adults cannot hear if there is a very high pitched ringing sound, but kids can hear it. +++ Sort of. Some adults may be able to hear the same high-pitched sounds as children. More accurately, the healthy ear can detect sound up to about 20kHz, but age and long-term noise exposure reduce the maximum an individual can hear.

Is it true that there is an alarm that only kids can hear?

Yes, As people grow older their ability to hear very high pitched sounds (such as bats and silent dog whistles) drops off. This is partly due to aging deterioration and partly due to the fact that the structures in the ear that detect the sound get bigger and thicker. Thus it is possible to build a sonic alarm which emits a loud sound at a pitch that only children (and some lucky adults with good hearing), dogs and cats can hear.


Sound adults can't hear?

It depends very much on the sound pressure level the sound makes at the ears. Adults can often not hear sine tones higher than 15 kilohertz.
