  2. Hearing range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

    Hearing range describes the frequency range that can be heard by humans or other animals, though it can also refer to the range of levels. The human range is commonly given as 20 to 20,000 Hz, although there is considerable variation between individuals, especially at high frequencies, and a gradual loss of sensitivity to higher frequencies ...

    In this article, I will explore what humans can hear, including frequencies, hearing in noise, directional hearing, and how it compares to an animal’s hearing ability.

  4. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.

  5. The Hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

    Baguley said, "I think most people view the hum as a fringe belief because it's so subjective — people say they hear something that most people can't hear. But when you look at the vast number of people who say they hear it, it's obvious that there's something going on." [19] Baguley also theorizes that peoples' hearing has become overly ...

  6. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    The absolute threshold of hearing (ATH), also known as the absolute hearing threshold or auditory threshold, is the minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average human ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present. The absolute threshold relates to the sound that can just be heard by the organism.

  7. Ultrasonic hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_hearing

    Ultrasonic hearing is a recognised auditory effect which allows humans to perceive sounds of a much higher frequency than would ordinarily be audible using the inner ear, usually by stimulation of the base of the cochlea through bone conduction. Normal human hearing is recognised as having an upper bound of 15–28 kHz, [1] depending on the person.

  8. Perception of infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_of_infrasound

    It is known, however, that humans can perceive sounds below this frequency at very high pressure levels. [1] Infrasound can come from many natural as well as man-made sources, including weather patterns, topographic features, ocean wave activity, thunderstorms, geomagnetic storms , earthquakes, jet streams , mountain ranges, and rocket launchings.
