Yes, we can hear earthquakes, but not in the same way we hear sounds in everyday life. The vibrations caused by seismic waves can produce low-frequency sounds, often described as a rumbling or roaring noise, especially during larger quakes. However, these sounds are typically very subtle and may be drowned out by other environmental noises. Most people are more likely to feel the shaking than to hear it.
What else can I help you with?
Why don't we hear about all of the earthquakes that happen in a year?
We don't hear about all the earthquakes that occur each year because many of them are too small to be felt or cause any damage, typically registering below magnitude 2.5. Additionally, most seismic activity happens in remote areas or regions that lack media coverage. Only significant earthquakes that impact populated areas or cause notable damage tend to receive widespread attention. Seismologists continuously monitor seismic activity, but the majority of minor quakes remain unreported to the public.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Did any earthquakes happen this week?
Yes. Earthquakes of SOME intensity happen SOMEWHERE every day. There were 2 strong earthquakes today, one in Italy, one in Tonga. The running tally for 26 October 2016 from earthquaketrack.com:99 earthquakes today681 earthquakes in the past 7 days3,156 earthquakes in the past month41,088 earthquakes in the past year
Can we hear earthquakes why or why not?
No, earthquakes cannot be heard because the sound waves they produce are of very low frequency and do not travel efficiently through the air. People may sometimes hear noises during an earthquake caused by structures shaking or shifting, but these are not the actual sounds of the seismic waves.
Can animals hear primary waves?
it is proven that most animals can hear waves through earthquakes. but humans can just feel the "bump".
Do earthquakes strike islands?
Did you hear about Haiti? Yes! Haiti is an island in the Caribbean shared by the Dominican Republic.

What are the warnings for a tsunami?
You can't really predict a tsunami, but If you hear about any underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, that can sometimes mean there will be a tsunami.
Can oil extractions cause earthquakes?
Not often does it happen on a large scale, but some oil drilling causes miniature ground shakes. This would not be noticeable by anyone, and it would also be so small that it would cause no damage. If you are asking if it causes earthquakes like the ones you hear on the news, then the answer is no.

Which animal has the highest hearing frequency?
it is a bat as it hears the echoes to find its way, small insects and can also hear earthquakes and other sounds before any other animal can

What are facts about both California and Japan have frequent earthquakes?
California and Japan are both on tectonic plate boundaries, so when those boundaries move it causes massive earthquake, which is why you hear about it on the news all the time :)
