High frequency sounds that cannot be heard by human beings are typically ultrasonic. They are above the range of human hearing, usually greater than 20,000 Hz. These frequencies are often used in technology such as medical imaging, pest control, and distance measuring.
Audible sound is the sound which is between 20 Hertz to 20000 Hertz and can be heard by human beings, whereas Inaudible sound may be below 20 Hertz or above 20000 Hertz and this can't be heard by human beings.
The longest wavelength that a human can hear corresponds to a frequency of about 20 Hz, which is typically the lower limit of human hearing. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional; as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
The highest frequency sound that can be heard by the human ear is around 20,000 Hz.
Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
The sensitivity of the human ear ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Under ideal conditions in a laboratory, humans have detected sounds as low as 12 Hz.
Ultrasound cannot be heard as it has a higher frequency than audible sound, with a frequency above 20000Hz.

Most living beings, such as chickens and humans, don't produce a single sound frequency; rather, the sound emitted is a mix of frequencies. That's why the sounds of each creature sound different.
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
The sound waves produced by a whistle are at a higher frequency than that of a beaten drum, causing the sound registered by human ears to be at a "higher pitch". Dog whistles can only be heard by dogs because the sound waves produced are at such a high frequency, human ears cannot detect them.
Audio sound is sound which human beings can hear. That is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz for HiFi.
infrasound
Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.
The sensitivity of the human ear ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Under ideal conditions in a laboratory, humans have detected sounds as low as 12 Hz.
Pitch is often used to represent the frequency of a sound in music. It is distinguished from frequency though, because pitch involves how a human perceives that sound.
