Many animals have a higher range of sounds they can hear but humans cannot. Dogs for example, can hear sounds as high as 60,000 Hz while the human range is within 20,000Hz. Lower base ranges 20 to 80 Hz are felt more than heard in many animals so while they will react, it is more fright and flight than recognition of specific sound.

Why are there some noises only children can hear?

The ear of a child can perceive noises ranging from 16 to 20,000Hz (Hertz,) whilst the ear of an adult can only perceive noises from 20 to 16,000Hz. Some phone companies have invented a ringtone which uses a sound between 17,000 and 20,000Hz. As you grow older, the amount of hertz you can hear drops.
