The human ear can detect a wide range of frequencies. The lowest frequencies are around 16 to 20 Hertz while the highest can be as much 20,000 Hertz. As we get older, our high frequency limit tends to reduce so an older person may only hear sounds up to around 15,000 Hertz.

∙ 10y agoThe range of frequencies that people can hear is different for different people.
For the human population as a whole, the range of audible frequencies is often
said to be something like 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoGenerally speaking between 20 and 20 000 Hz.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe upper and lower audible frequency limits are different for every individual. But for design purposes,
the range of human hearing is often considered to be [ 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz ].

What range of frequencies can be heard by a human?
Hearing Range of frequencies for humar ears if from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What is the lowest frequency?
The lowest frequency is 10 Hz. A human can hear frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Some frequencies can be felt rather than heard.
Which frequencies of wave in the air can be heard as an audible sound by the human ear?
from about 100 cps to about 16,000 cps (young people only).
Describe infrasonic and ultrasonic waves and explain why humans can not hear them?
The human ear cannot detect all possible frequencies. It has evolved to detect frequencies of sounds that are the most useful to humans, and has a maximum frequency range of about 20Hz to 20kHz, which decreases as you get older, particularly at the higher end. Infrasonic describes sounds that are too low in frequency to be heard by the human ear, and ultrasonic describes sounds that are too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear. These sounds cannot be heard by the human ear because they are outside of its range of capability.
Any sound wave with frequencies higher than 20000 hz?
The sound which is over 20 000 Hz is called ultrasonic. It can't be heard by human ears. It can be heard and produce by some of the animals and mammals e.g.-Dolphin,bat etc. The sound which is less then 20 Hz is called infrasonic. The sound is divided into these two parts.
What range of frequencies can be heard by a human?
Hearing Range of frequencies for humar ears if from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What is the lowest frequency?
The lowest frequency is 10 Hz. A human can hear frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Some frequencies can be felt rather than heard.
Which of the following frequencies can be heard by the human ear -- a. 0.1 Hz b. 10 Hz c. 1000 Hz or d. 100000 Hz?
1000 Hz. The others are outside the range of human hearing. You can feel 10 Hz but not hear it. C. 1,000 Hz

What are sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called what?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
What is something human cnt hear?
Some sounds that are at certain frequencies cannot be heard by a human ear. Some such sounds are a dog whistle, certain whale songs and dolphin and bat echolocation.
Would frequencies (Hz.)of the human body be religeous and spirituality frequencies?
No, that is completely unrelated.
What are ultra sonic frequencies?
Audio (sound) frequencies above the range of the human ear. This is generally said to be above 20,000 hertz.
Frequencies below the range audible to the human ear are classified as?
Infrasonic
Why less than 20hz is inaudible?
Because human ear has a limitation of hearing sounds only of such a band of frequencies. we call them as audio frequencies.
