AUDIBLE FREQUENCY RANGE

All the day long you hear different sounds. Sound is produced when a body vibrates. Can you hear all the sound produced by various vibrating bodies? You may think so but it is not true. We cannot hear all the sound produced by vibrating bodies. Our hearing range is limited. The sounds that we can hear are called audible sounds.

Human ear cannot hear sound of a body that is vibrating with a frequency less than 20 Hz. It also cannot hear sound of a body that is vibrating with a frequency more than 20,000Hz (20KHz).thus audible ranges of frequency for humans is between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Audible frequency range  is different for different animals.
