  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 ...

  4. 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.

    Key Takeaways: Human hearing spans from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Hearing conversation in noise is challenging, especially when the noise has a similar frequency to human speech.

    For humans, normal hearing is between −10 dB(HL) and 15 dB(HL), [2] [3] although 0 dB from 250 Hz to 8 kHz is deemed to be 'average' normal hearing. Hearing thresholds of humans and other mammals can be found with behavioural hearing tests or physiological tests used in audiometry.

  8. Hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing

    A cat can hear high-frequency sounds up to two octaves higher than a human. Not all sounds are normally audible to all animals. Each species has a range of normal hearing for both amplitude and frequency. Many animals use sound to communicate with each other, and hearing in these species is particularly important for survival and reproduction.

  9. High fidelity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fidelity

    The human hearing range, for healthy young persons, is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. [13] Most adults can't hear higher than 15,000 Hz. [11] CDs are capable of reproducing frequencies as low as 0 Hz and as high as 22,050 Hz, making them adequate for reproducing the frequency range that most humans can hear. [11]
