Sound: Hearing Range

Sound is the name we give to energy that we can detect using our ears. Different species have different hearing ranges.

  • The human range of hearing is 20Hz to 20kHz (You need to know that!)
  • Sound of frequencies below 20Hz are called subsonic or infrasonic and
  • sound of frequencies higher than 20kHz are termed ultrasonic.
