Humans cannot hear ultrasonic (above 20,000 Hz) and infrasonic (below 20 Hz) waves. Ultrasonic waves are too high in frequency for the human ear to detect, while infrasonic waves are too low.
Sound waves that are too low to hear are referred to as infrasound. These waves have frequencies below the threshold of human hearing, typically below 20 Hz. Even though we cannot hear them, infrasound waves can still have effects on humans and animals.
Humans hear through sound waves traveling through air, water is denser than air making it more difficult for sound waves to travel efficiently. This causes sounds to become muffled and distorted underwater, making it harder for humans to hear clearly. Additionally, the ears are not optimized for hearing underwater as they are designed to work in air.
Infrasound waves are sound waves with frequencies below the audible range for humans, typically below 20 Hz. Ultrasound waves are sound waves with frequencies higher than the audible range, typically above 20,000 Hz. Both types of waves are used in various applications, such as infrasound for communication among elephants and ultrasound for medical imaging.
Waves with frequencies over 20,000 Hz are considered ultrasonic waves. They are higher in frequency than what humans can hear, and are commonly used in medical imaging, cleaning processes, and communication technologies.
Yes, sound waves exist which are not audible to the human ear. Humans can hear sound waves having frequency between 20 - 20,000 Hz. Other all frequencies lie outside our hearing range and are called ultrasonic or supersonic waves.
it is proven that most animals can hear waves through earthquakes. but humans can just feel the "bump".
With special technology, yes
As defined by research on the topic of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, no human can hear radio waves. No human can hear any part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum except gamma rays, which have enough energy to light up. If humans were to hear radio waves, they wouldn't need radios (except from the original form).
Sound waves at frequencies lower than humans can hear.
Infrasonic waves are waves which are below humans hearing range while ultrasonic waves are waves which human beings can hear. Example-bat,dog etc and human beings (respectively)
bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.
in a way, but there are still some there, humans just cant hear them.

humans hear from there ears.
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.
