Generally, frequencies above 20,000 Hz are considered too high for humans to hear. This range is known as ultrasonic frequencies and is beyond the typical hearing range of most adults. However, some animals, such as bats and dolphins, can detect sounds at much higher frequencies.

How high or low is a sound?

Different animals can perceive sounds at different wavelengths. For example a dog whistle has a frequency which dogs can hear but is too high for humans. Furthermore, people's sensitivity to sound frequency changes with age. In general, ordinary range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.


What is the term for any sound that is too high for humans to hear?

The term for any sound that is too high for humans to hear is "ultrasonic."


What is a sound that has a too high frequency called?

the sound that is too high pitch to hear is called an ultrasound.

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

Ultrasound has a frequency higher than the upper limit that humans can detect, which is typically around 20,000 Hz. This type of sound is used in various applications such as medical imaging, cleaning, and communication.


Why dog whistle is heard by dog but not man?

The frequency of the sound is too high for humans to hear, but dogs have more sensitve ears and can hear at higher frequencies.


What do you call a sound that you cannot hear?

Sound too low in frequency to hear (~<20Hz) is called infrasound. Sound too high infrequency to hear (~>20kHz) is called ultrasound.


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 animals can hear sounds with too high a frequency for humans to hear?

Most animals can, but dogs can definitely hear them.


What frequency of waves in the air can be heard as an audible sound by the human ear?

For the human ear, sound is audible in the range of 20 Hz (Hertz) to 20000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are "infrasonic" and have too low a frequency to be heard; sounds above 20000 Hz are "ultrasonic" and are too high a frequency to be heard.


What are sound waves we can't hear called?

Sound waves that are too low or too high in frequency for the human ear to detect are called infrasound and ultrasound, respectively.


What mammal makes sounds people cant hear?

Bats. They are blind and use echolocation to navigate when they are flying. They emit high pitched sounds humans ears are unable to hear. The sound frequency in a human voice is too low pitched for them to hear.
