Why can dogs hear more sounds than humans?

Yes. "Dog's sense of hearing has an almost equally important role within their world. Not only do dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing that can hear a wide range of sounds but they also have the ability to pin point the exact origin of the sound, discriminate between sounds and make a accurate interpretation of the sound, and decided whether it is threatening or non-threatening. As dog's ears are able to move in different directions, it is easier for dogs to pinpoint the exact location of a sound's origin. The frequencies that dogs can perceive and hear are almost twice that of humans and they can pick up and distinguish sounds at roughly 4 times the range of humans. Dogs have specially designed inner ears that allow them to have this incredible ability and their ears operate almost like radars. Not only do dogs hear the sounds but also perceive the height and depth of the sounds that they hear. Dogs also have the ability to hear ultra high frequencies that humans cannot and many professional dog handlers and trainers use this ability to their advantage by teaching them and training them to respond to different commands given on whistles that produce ultra high frequency sounds.


Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?

There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.
