Cuse of the manner in which sound (and, in particular, low frequency sound) is propagated unnder water, whalies, dolphins and the like as well as fieesh will be able to detect them, though it may not be "heering" as we no it.

How can you tell if an elephant is making subsonic sounds?
The skin on the sides of their head and sometimes their forehead will flutter.
Can elephants talk to each other by making sounds called tummy rumbles?
Elephants have a wide variety of noises, including trumpeting with their trunks, but also make low rumbling sounds with their vocal cords (not their "tummy") that are subsonic and can travel for miles through the ground (they're seismic"). The sounds can be heard by other, distant, elephants through their feet and trunks. These low frequency noises are called 'infrasound'.
What is a sensitivity balance in science?
Sensitivity balance in science is exactly what it sounds like it would be. It is the balance that is used to detect minute changes in substances.
Why can't humans make very low sounds?
Because humans don't have the right body structure or the strength to do so. This also deals with the fact human hearing can't detect sounds below about 20Hz(Hertz)
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.
Can subsonic sound be harmful to human mental and physical health?
Subsonic sounds can affect internal organs. Once that is established the mental effects will be clear too.
What are subsonic signals?
Subsonic signals are sounds or vibrations that have a frequency lower than that which may be heard by the human ear as a discernable tone. Vibrations lower than 30 Hz (30 cycles per second) are considered subsonic.
Are sound waves with frequencies higher than 20 000 Hz referred to as subsonic waves?
No. Such sounds are suprsonic sounds.
How can you tell if an elephant is making subsonic sounds?
The skin on the sides of their head and sometimes their forehead will flutter.
What sounds do gun shots make?
Breaking of the sound barrier unless subsonic ammunition is used is one.
Can dogs detect higher and lower sounds than humans?
yes dogs can detect lower or higher sounds than humans
Explain how one animal uses sounds that humans cannot hear?
Whales navigate with subsonic vibrations. like sonar
What is the antonym for the word subsonic?
The antonym for subsonic is supersonic.
What Sound waves below 20 waves per second called?
They're called "subsonic".That makes sense. "Sub" means "under", and "sonic" refers to "sound"."Subsonic" waves are those with frequencies lower than sounds audibleto the human ear.
What is the device called to detect animal sounds?
Sonar
Do elephants use their trunks and feet to detect sounds?
yes
What is Subsonic Bullet?
Subsonic means "slower than the speed of sound" so a subsonic bullet is any bullet that travels slower than the speed of sound.
