What is the audible frequency range for the human ear?
20-20,000 Hz
The human ear can perceive sound waves only within a specific range of frequencies, beyond which sounds become inaudible to humans.
The audible frequency range for the human ear is generally accepted as 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz), with frequencies below this range called infrasound and those above called ultrasound.
Sounds below 20 Hz, such as those produced by some large animals or seismic activity, and sounds above 20,000 Hz, such as those used in ultrasound imaging or heard by animals like bats and dogs, fall outside the range of human hearing.
Hence, the answer is 20-20,000 Hz.
