There are two transducers (the ear drum and a thin section of skull) where sound is shifted from one media to another (air 2 mechanical & mechanical to liquid),

and a transducer in between to change high amplitude, low power into low amplitude, high power.

Each one of these is a mechanical device with its own resonant frequencies and moments of inertia.

What is the highest frequency sound that can be heard by the human ear?

The highest frequency sound that can be heard by the human ear is around 20,000 Hz.


How high can the human ear hear sounds?

The human ear can hear sounds up to a frequency of about 20,000 Hertz.


What frequency can the human ear detect?

The human ear can typically detect frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This range is known as the audible frequency range.


What is the minimum frequency the human ear can hear?

The human ear can generally detect sounds with frequencies as low as 20 Hz. Below this frequency, the sound may be felt rather than heard.


What is the properties of ultrasonic sound waves?

They have a frequency of above 20,000Hz inaudible to human ear.


What is the lowest frenquency that humans can hear?

The lowest frequency that the human ear can detect is that of 20Hertz.


What is the range of frequency to witch the human ear is sensitive and what is this range called?

The range of frequencies to which the human ear is sensitive is approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, also known as 20 kHz. This range is referred to as the audible frequency range.


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.


Is The frequency of the lowest sound that the normal human ear can perceive ranges between 16 and 20 Hertz?

The frequency of the lowest sound that the normal human ear can perceive is generally considered to be around 20 Hz. Below this frequency, the sound is typically felt as vibrations rather than heard.


Human ear sensitivity in low frequency range?

The human ear is less sensitive to low frequencies compared to mid-range frequencies. Below 100 Hz, the ear requires higher sound pressure levels to be perceived as equally loud as sounds in the mid-frequency range. This is because the ear is designed to be most sensitive to frequencies between 2,000 and 5,000 Hz, which is where human speech falls.


What is tone in ear?

Tone is a pure sound. Typically, a fixed frequency makes a single tone. In the ear (human) a tone stimulates (there are restrictions) only one part of the ear. What is tone in ear?


What is the lowest frequency sound that is detectable by the human ear?

The lowest frequency sound that is detectable by the human ear is typically around 20-30 Hz. Below this range, the sound waves are often felt as vibrations rather than heard as distinct pitches.
