Can humans hear infrasound?

yes


What is the low frequency sound which you cannot hear called?

infrasound


What are sound waves that are too low to hear?

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.


What are infrasound?

Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.


Infrasonic freq range?

Infrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human hearing, typically below 20 Hz. Infrasound can be produced by natural sources like earthquakes or man-made sources like industrial machinery. Although humans cannot hear infrasound, they can still feel its effects, such as uneasiness or discomfort.


How ultrasound and infrasound differ from normal sound?

Sonic infrasound is a sound too low for humans to hear, below 20 Hertz. Ultrasound is a sound too high for humans to hear, above 20,000 Hertz.


What sounds can't humans hear?

Humans can't hear sounds that are below 20Hz (infrasound) or above 20,000Hz (ultrasound). Infrasound is produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and by some animals, while ultrasound is used in medical imaging and by animals like bats for echolocation.


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.


What type of sound has a frequency to low to be detected by humans?

Infrasound refers to sound waves with a frequency lower than what humans can hear, typically below 20 Hz. These frequencies are often produced by natural events like earthquakes or man-made sources like industrial machinery. Although we can't hear infrasound, it can still affect us physiologically and emotionally.


How can you record infrasound?

The same way you record normal sound. infra sound is the same as normal sound but our ears cannot hear it. a microphone would.


What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?

"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.


Sound waves with frequencies below the normal human range of hearing are called?

Infrasound.
