Blinking is a rapid movement and the displacement of air caused by it is minimal, which is why we don't hear a sound when we blink. The movement is also highly localized to just the eyelids, so the sound produced, if any, is likely too subtle to be detected by our ears.

How come you hear a sound when you bat your eyelashes?

When you bat your eyelashes, the movement creates a small amount of turbulence and friction in the air, which can produce a soft rustling sound that is amplified due to the close proximity to your ears. The sound is very subtle and typically only audible in a quiet environment.


How come you don't hear a sound when you bat your eyelashes?

Blinking your eyelids is a gentle and quick motion, so it doesn't create enough force to generate sound waves that can be heard. Additionally, the distance between your ears and your eyes is relatively long, making it harder for any sound produced to reach your ears.


Why we cannot hear a sound when we bat our eyelashes?

Batting our eyelashes does not produce enough force or movement to create sound waves that can travel through the air and be perceived by our ears. Sound is created when an object vibrates and causes air molecules to move, which our ears can detect. Eyelash movements are too gentle to create these vibrations and hence do not produce any sound.


You see the cricket ball hitting the bat first and then hear the sound?

Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.


What can hear the best?

The bat. It can "hear" sound waves produced by it's own voice. The shape of the waves change when they bounce off obstacles, so the bat literally navigates by it's ears.


What kind of echo does a bat hear from a object moving away from it?

A bat would hear a weaker and more stretched out echo if an object is moving away from it, as the sound waves would take longer to return. This could indicate to the bat that the object is further away.


What is a short a sound?

The short \a\ sound is "ah" as opposed to the long \a\ where you hear the sound of the letter. Examples: fat act jam gas bad pad had bat cap dad cat

What kind of echo does a bat hear from an object moving away from it?

A bat would hear a Doppler-shifted echo from an object moving away from it. This means the frequency of the echo would be lower than the frequency of the sound wave emitted by the bat. The bat's brain is able to interpret this change in frequency to understand the direction and speed of the object.


How a bat hear?

Bats hear with their ears and echolocation; it picks up vibrations and then waits for them to come back to the ear. See the related question below.


Why are children more likely to hear bats than adults?

Because children can hear higher frequencies, and a bat sound is usually very high pitched. A child may also not be able to hear it, if the bat has a particularly high voice. In theory, children can hear a maximum high pitch of 20,000Hz. This is only if the child's hearing is perfect, which, in most cases, it isn't. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that as you get older, your ability to hear high pitched sound gets worse.


You are used to bat with yet I never get a hit you are near a ball yet is never thrown?
