because it's too high pitched. humans can't hear sounds past a certain pitch.

Why we cant hear the sounds of frequency more than 20000 Hz. Reason?

These sounds have got a specific name. They are known as Ultrasounds. We can hear them, but the problem is that they cause the eardrum to vibrate too much and hence they are incomprehensible.


Can humans hear the sounds from elephants under normal circumstances. Why or why not?

No, humans cannot hear the sounds made by elephants under normal circumstances. Elephants produce low-frequency infrasound vocalizations that are below the range of human hearing. However, elephants can communicate with each other over long distances using these infrasound frequencies.


Can human hear in megahertz?

No, humans cannot hear sounds in the megahertz range. Human hearing typically ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with the ability to hear higher frequencies decreasing with age. Megahertz frequencies are beyond the range of human hearing.


Do all animals hear the same?

No, animals have different ranges of hearing. Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans, while others can hear lower frequencies. Additionally, some animals can hear sounds at much greater distances than humans.


Dogs can hear from what hertz to what hertz?

I researched this question and apparently: "Dogs hear high tones in particular much better than humans do. Humans can pick up an average of 20,000 acoustic vibrations per second (kHz), whereas a dog is able to perceive between 40,000 and 100,000 vibrations." Although dogs can hear pretty well compared to humans, bats can detect twice as high a pitch as dogs.

Can dolphins hear longer than humans?

I think so, they also hear higher frequency sounds.


What animals can hear sounds that you can't?

Animals such as dogs, cats, and certain insects can hear ultrasound frequencies that are beyond the range of human hearing. Whales and dolphins can also detect sounds in the infrasound range, which are lower than what humans can perceive.


Can animals hear sounds that humans can't hear?

yes, animals hear thousands of high pitched noises that we cant hear at all. hope this helps :)

nothing


How can monkey hear sounds?

They hear sounds in the same way that humans do.


Do dolphins see better than people?

No, they just use echolocation to tell where things are. Echolocation is making shrill sounds that humans can't hear that bounce off things. The dolphins have special organs that allow them to hear these sound waves.


Which animal can hear the most quiet sounds?

Dogs can hear extremely quiet sounds. Another animal that is capable of hearing sounds inaudible to humans are dolphins and bats.


What mammal makes sounds people cant hear?

Bats. They are blind and use echolocation to navigate when they are flying. They emit high pitched sounds humans ears are unable to hear. The sound frequency in a human voice is too low pitched for them to hear.


Can hear sounds with frequency up to 130 kHz?

Humans typically can only hear sounds with frequencies up to around 20 kHz. Sounds with frequencies above this range are considered ultrasonic and are not audible to the human ear. Some animals, like bats and dolphins, can hear frequencies up to 130 kHz or even higher.


How far away can humans hear sounds?

Humans can typically hear sounds from about 20 feet away, depending on the volume and frequency of the sound.


How do pink dolphins navigate through the water?

They find their way by sending out high-pitched sounds (at a level too high for humans to hear). The dolphins then listen for the returning echoes as they bounce off objects. This is called "echolocation", and it lets dolphins know what is around them.


Can humans hear high frequency sounds?

Yes, humans can hear high frequency sounds. The range of frequencies that humans can hear typically falls between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. High frequency sounds are generally above 2,000 Hz.
