Human hearing is typically between 20 Hz an 20,000 Hz
decibel refers to loudness. you're probably thinking of frequency
120Db
The threshold of hearing is 0 dB. The threshold of pain = 137.5 dB.
We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
It varies from person to person. However - an accepted 'normal' hearing range is around 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The same goes for pain threshold - anything over 120 dB would certainly be uncomfortable for most people.

The threshold of hearing is the lowest intensity level of sound that can be detected by the human ear, typically around 0 decibels. The threshold of pain, on the other hand, is the highest intensity level of sound that a person can tolerate before experiencing discomfort or pain, usually around 120-130 decibels.
You can start to hear at the threshold of hearing at 0 dB and end up at the threshold of pain at 137.5 dB.
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.

Absolute threshold is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch
In hearing, the threshold of pain is the sound pressure or sound pressure level beyond which sound becomes unbearable for a human listener. This threshold varies only slightly with frequency. It is clear that only lower levels are permissable, because prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of the threshold of pain can cause physical damage, potentially leading to hearing impairment. Different values for the threshold of pain are found in the literature: Sound pressure level and Sound pressure: 120 dB SPL = 20 Pa 130 dBSPL = 63 Pa 134 dBSPL = 100 Pa 137.5 dBSPL = 150 Pa 140 dBSPL = 200 Pa
Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of human hearing). Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of human hearing intensity level). Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Our eardrums are moved by sound pressure variations. That is a sound field quantity. Reference sound pressure po = 20 µPa = 2×10^−5 Pa (Threshold of human hearing). Reference sound pressure level Lpo = 0 dB-SPL (Threshold of human sound pressure hearing level).
