The range of frequencies that whales use are from 30 Hertz (Hz) to about 8,000 Hz, (8 kHZ). Humans can only hear part of the whales' songs. We aren't able to hear the lowest of the whale frequencies. Humans hear low frequency sounds starting at about 100 Hz.

The frequency of bird chirps and calls vary according by habitat. In an open habitat, birds use high frequency calls becuase they degrade less across open habitat, so the call can travel farther. In a closed habitat with more vegetation, low frequency calls are more optimals because they are less susceptible to reverberations from the sound-reflecting vegetation.

There is a great range in the number of hertz a bird can hear. Pigeons for example can hear very low sounds at about 2,000 hertz.

Generally speaking, the majority of bird species can hear up to 25 feet away. However, birds tend to hear at lower frequencies than humans and other animals.

Why can't you hear birds fly?

Sometimes you can hear flapping, but mostly they are just too far away to hear it. Birds of prey tend to glide in when they attack so that their prey cannot hear them flapping and escape.Examples: owls make a soft shushing sound when they fly and mourning doves make a chirping sound that is actually their wings touching together on the down-stroke.
