They're called "subsonic".

That makes sense. "Sub" means "under", and "sonic" refers to "sound".
"Subsonic" waves are those with frequencies lower than sounds audible
to the human ear.

What are infrasonic and ultrasonic sound waves?

Ultrasonic and Infrasonic sound waves are waves that are not audible to human beings. The audible region contains sound waves of 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz.Infrasonic sound waves have frequencies below 16 Hz. For example, an earthquake.Ultrasonic sound waves have frequencies above 20,000 Hz. For example, x-rays.Grade 11 Physics


What is the difference between infrasonic and ultrasonic?

Infrasonic refers to sound waves below the frequency range of human hearing (below 20 Hz), while ultrasonic refers to sound waves above the frequency range of human hearing (above 20,000 Hz). Infrasonic waves are often produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes, while ultrasonic waves are commonly used in medical imaging and pest control.


What is the difference between ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves?

Ultrasonic sound waves have frequencies higher than the upper limit of human hearing (20 kHz), while infrasonic sound waves have frequencies lower than the lower limit of human hearing (20 Hz). Ultrasonic waves are used in various applications such as medical imaging and cleaning, while infrasonic waves are produced by natural phenomena like earthquakes and some animal communication.
