Why does the cattle's ability to hear infrasonic frequencies contribute to a stampede?
The cattle's ability to hear infrasonic frequencies contributes to a stampede because these sounds are not heard by the cattle drivers and they are not able to react prior to the stampede. The continued sounds cause the cattle to keep running.
Are there sounds we can not hear?
Human hearing is most effective in the range of about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Slightly lower frequency sounds may be heard or "felt." Some sounds outside this range can be heard by some individuals. Some animals have a wider range of hearing, such as dogs who can hear higher pitched (higher frequency) sounds.
Give examples of onomatopoeia?
Onomatopoeia is the formation or use of words that imitate natural sounds associated with an object, action, or reproduction of a sound. Some examples are tinkle, buzz, and chickadee. onomatopoeia is the imitation of nature sounds; such as zip, buzz shhhh while you are talking about an object you can relate it with natural nature sounds.
Why do animals often behave strangely before an eruption?
Before an eruption, the Earth's surface starts vibrating. This vibration causes infrasonic sound waves which are below the audible range of human hear (i.e. 20Hz-20kHz). But some animals can hear these infrasonic waves and are aware of the danger. So they start moving in a direction opposite to the source of these waves. Birds take to the air.
What name is given to the sounds which a cat can hear but a human cannot?
Sound with a frequency lower than about 20 cycles per second, called infrasonic sound. Sound with a frequency higher than about 20,000 cycles per second, called ultrasonic sound. Only those with excellent hearing can perceive sound at these extremes. As we age and as our hearing is damaged by exposure to loud sounds, the frequency range of hearing is reduced. Some animals can hear sounds above and below the range of humans.
What are sounds that cannot be heard by human beings?
They are called infrasonic sounds.
What Sounds that cannot be heard by human beings?
They are called infrasonic sounds.
Which animals can hear infrasonic sound?
Animals that can hear infrasonic sounds are; frogs snakes ants dogs fishes whales beetles pigeons Usally, small animals can hear infrasonic sounds because they catches low frequency sound which is less than 20 Hz, especially insects. You may have observed that even if you walk very softly on the floor, animals like dogs feels your coming because they can hear infrasonic sounds.

What type of sound has a frequency too high to be detected by humans?
infrasonic
Why do you think cattle's ability to hear infrasonic frequencies might contribute to a stampede?
Cattle don't like high-pitched sounds. They are quite sensitive to it, and such sounds can cause a herd of cattle to flee away from such a sound.
