bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.

Dogs can hear from what hertz to what hertz?

I researched this question and apparently: "Dogs hear high tones in particular much better than humans do. Humans can pick up an average of 20,000 acoustic vibrations per second (kHz), whereas a dog is able to perceive between 40,000 and 100,000 vibrations." Although dogs can hear pretty well compared to humans, bats can detect twice as high a pitch as dogs.


Do all animals hear the same?

No, animals have different ranges of hearing. Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans, while others can hear lower frequencies. Additionally, some animals can hear sounds at much greater distances than humans.


What sound frequency is too high for humans?

Can humans hear under water?
