- Ultrasound and infrasound differ from "regular" noises in three ways that have an impact on the rest of this chapter's discussion.
- The first and most evident feature of these sound types is that they are "extreme" frequencies that lie beyond the human ear's usual response curve and are hence inaudible.
- Ultrasound, which contains physiologically important noises ranging from 15 kHz to 200 kHz, has a frequency that is too high. Infrasound is excessively low in frequency, stretching from around 20 to 0.1 Hz or less.
- In all situations, sophisticated apparatus are required simply to identify the signals, which only adds to the allure of studying them.
- When the right technology is used, it is feasible to witness events that are widespread in nonhuman animals but were previously unknown.
