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.


How good do bats hear?

Bats have exceptional hearing abilities that allow them to navigate, communicate, and hunt using echolocation. They can hear ultrasonic sounds at frequencies up to 200 kHz, far exceeding the human range. This acute hearing enables them to detect prey, obstacles, and navigate in complete darkness.


How high can humans hear?

Humans can typically hear sounds within the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, with the ability to hear higher frequencies diminishing with age. The upper limit of human hearing varies among individuals but generally decreases with age. Sounds above 20,000 Hz are considered ultrasonic and are usually inaudible to humans.


Do cats use echolocation?

Of course not. Everyone knows that bats use echolocation because that they can't see very well. So, they use these high pitched screeches that bounce off of objects and back to them. This tells them if there is and object nearby, how close it is, and how large or small it is.


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.
