A Dog has exceptional hearing
There are quite a few animals that can hear higher frequencies than humans. Some of those animals include dogs, cats, dolphins, and porpoises.

To add to the list, the echo-locating species of bats are the real champions of ultrasound, with some using complex wide-band chirps significantly over 100kHz, and at high call repetition-rates, to home in on a prey insect. Not only emitting these calls, but hearing and analysing the faint echoes fast enough, in no more than a few grammes of brain, to control the flight. Their social calls (to each other) are generally lower, commonly around a modest 50kHz. Their location / hunting call intensity can be remarkably high too: some bats call at >100dB re 20 micro-Pascals, a sound pressure level which if persistent at human audio frequencies (<20kHz) would endanger our hearing. Despite this intensity, their power is very low: bats are only wee furry little creatures after all!
What else can I help you with?
What are two animals that can hear lower frequency sounds than a human?
Both whales and elephants can hear extremely low frequency sounds.
What is the highest frequency that a human can hear?
The highest frequency that a human can hear is typically around 20,000 hertz (Hz).
Why do elephants need to hear better then other animals?
elephants need to hear better because they communicate* in a lower frequency which means we cant hear them communicate* but they need better ears so they can hear each other *they communicate in low frequency drone's like bird tweeting except they are a lot lower and we cant hear them
What human perception of the frequency of sound?
The human perception of frequency of sound is called pitch. Higher frequency sounds are perceived as higher pitch, while lower frequency sounds are perceived as lower pitch. The range of frequencies humans can hear is typically between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What are infrasound?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
What is the maximum frequency in hertz that a human can hear?
The maximum frequency in hertz that a human can hear is typically around 20,000 Hz.
Do high frequency sounds affect animals?
It depends on the type of animal. Dogs can hear a higher frequency than humans, which is the concept behind a dog whistle. Elephants can hear lower sounds than humans.
What animals can hear sounds with too high a frequency for humans to hear?
Most animals can, but dogs can definitely hear them.
Ultrasound waves are waves with a frequency higher than ahuman can hear state the highest frequency that human can hear?
The highest frequency that a human can hear is around 20,000 Hz, or 20 kHz. Beyond this frequency, sounds are considered to be ultrasound, which is not detectable by the human ear.
What is the longest wavelength a human can hear?
The longest wavelength that a human can hear corresponds to a frequency of about 20 Hz, which is typically the lower limit of human hearing. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional; as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as human do?
Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans can. This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more. Some animals can hear lower frequencies than humans can. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans.
What will you hear if the frequency of the sound is decreased?
A lower note.
