You would think humans could hear all sounds but some can be below or above the frequancy of the humans ears:)

Very much so. For a healthy, fully function human ear, the lowest frequency is 2oHz, the maximum 20kHz, but age and long-term exposure to loud sounds will reduce the upper limit for an individual. Frequencies <20Hz are described as "infrasound"; made by some animals for communication. Frequencies >20kHz: ultrasound. Echo-locating bats call at around from 80kHz to above 100kHz when hunting (and some do so at very intensities, too, though at very low power as they are only little animals). Medical ultrasound frequencies exceed >1MHz.
