What sounds can't humans hear?

Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.

Yes


How do you hear babies in the womb?

Ultrasound.


Frequencies too high-pitched for the human ear to hear?

Sounds that are too high-pitched for the human ear to detect are often in the ultrasonic range, exceeding 20,000 Hz. While humans cannot hear these frequencies, some animals like certain bats and dolphins have the ability to hear and use them for communication or echolocation. Devices like ultrasonic pest repellents also utilize these frequencies to deter pests without affecting humans.


How ultrasound and infrasound differ from normal sound?

Sonic infrasound is a sound too low for humans to hear, below 20 Hertz. Ultrasound is a sound too high for humans to hear, above 20,000 Hertz.


Can a dog hear thehigh-frequency sounds an ultrasound mashine makes?

No, while a dog can hear ultrasound frequencies up to about 45KHz (normal human hearing is only up to about 20KHz) the frequencies made by ultrasound imaging machines are usually in the MHz range, far beyond a dog's hearing range.
