Some animals can hear higher frequencies than humans can. This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more.
Some animals can hear lower frequencies than humans can. Elephants can hear much lower frequencies than humans.

Can humans hear the sounds from elephants under normal circumstances. Why or why not?
No, because the frequencies that the average human ear can hear is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What wavelength frequencies of sound waves can people hear?
They vibrate over a wide range of rates. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch of the sound.
Can human hear in megahertz?
Most humans can, yes. The lowest tone that sounds like a tone to humans is around 20 Hz (frequencies lower than that sound more like a discreet series of "thumps", as if someone were tapping an object).
Can the loud sound of fireworks open up a garage door?
I sincerely doubt it. Garage door opener frequencies are in the upper range where bats hear! Fireworks sound is heavily slanted toward low and mid-range bass sounds.
Exposing the human body to a sonic boom what will happen?
You just hear a loud sound. IF you were close enough then it might deafen you.
Why can some animals hear sounds that humans can not hear?
Because each animal has a different range of sensitivity for sound frequencies; also not all the human beings are identical.
What are sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
The highest frequency sound human ears can usually hear is about?
The average human can hear frequencies of up to 20,000 Hertz.
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called what?
Sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing are called ultrasoundUltrasoundUltrasonic for frequencies higher than a human can hear, and infrasonic for those frequencies below the human threshold of hearing.
Can animals hear the same sounds?
The sounds animals can hear is based on the frequency that the certain animal can hear. For example, dog's can hear at much higher frequencies then humans can, so if a sound is made that is above our capability of hearing, we will not hear the sound, but the dog will.
What animals can hear the widest range of frequencies - Dog Cat Human Mouse Elephant Bullfrog?
dog
Do all animals see the same frequencies of visible light as humans do Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as humans do?
no bats and many marine animals can hear high frequency noises We can't. Most other animals can't
Frequencies too high pitched for the human ear to hear?
Sound waves too high for humans to hear are called: ultrasonic
What is the maximum range of sound frequencies that human can hear?
most people hear frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz
What is the range of frequency that humans can hear?
the range of sound frequencies that humans can hear is about0to200Hz
What is the definition of intrasonic mean?
Intrasonic is the sound frequencies which we can hear.
What is an ultrasonic wave?
Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies higher than what humans can hear. Sound waves have frequencies of about 20,000 to 100,000.
