Cats have one of the broadest ranges of hearing among mammals. [11] Humans and cats have a similar range of hearing on the low end of the scale, but cats can hear much higher-pitched sounds, up to 64 kHz , which is 1.6 octaves above the range of a human, and 1 octave above the range of a dog.
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 ...
The domestic cat's hearing is most acute in the range of 500 Hz to 32 kHz. [74] It can detect an extremely broad range of frequencies ranging from 55 Hz to 79 kHz, whereas humans can only detect frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. It can hear a range of 10.5 octaves, while humans and dogs can hear ranges of about 9 octaves.

Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]

[23] [24] The wild ancestors of cats and dogs evolved this higher hearing range to hear high-frequency sounds made by their preferred prey, small rodents. [23] A dog whistle is a whistle that emits ultrasound, used for training and calling dogs. The frequency of most dog whistles is within the range of 23 to 54 kHz. [25]
