The upper and lower limits of audibility are somewhat different for each individual,
and often even for the two ears of the same individual.
The range of audible frequencies is usually considered to be from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Frequencies lower than 20 or higher than 20,000 are inaudible to most people.

How does the frequency of light compare to the frequency of sound?
-- The highest frequency of sound audible to the human ear is of the order of 20,000 Hz.-- The lowest frequency of light visible to the human eye is of the order of 375,000,000,000,000 Hz.
What frequency of a wave 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 is the lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear?
The lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear is about 20 Hz. This frequency is below the range of what is considered audible to humans and is often felt more than heard. Generally the range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz vibrations can still be felt but are not audible to the human ear.
What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What do you mean by audible frequency wave?
That means a wave with a frequency somewhere between roughly 20 Hz and 20 KHz.If it's not in that frequency range, then you can't hear it even if it hits you square inthe ear, so it's not 'audible'.

What are the below audible frequency sounds?
Sounds below human's lowest audible frequency of 20Hz are known as Infrasound.
What is the lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear?
The lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear is about 20 Hz. This frequency is below the range of what is considered audible to humans and is often felt more than heard. Generally the range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz vibrations can still be felt but are not audible to the human ear.
Why current frequency 50hz is not audible?
If your hearing is good, it should be. The human ear is generally said to pick up sounds between 20 - 20 000 Hertz.
What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Frequencies below the range audible to the human ear are classified as?
Infrasonic

Sound waves audible to the human ear?
20 hz to 20,000 Hz
What is the lowest frequency a human can ear?
20Hz
Frequency response of the human ear?
The average response of a human ear at the ear drum is flat to about 500 Hz with a peak around 2.5KHz.
