Question

What is the approximate audible range of frequency for humans?

Answer 1

20hz to 2000hz is the audible range

Answer 2

Answer:

The approximate and accepted standard audible range of frequency of humans is about "20 Hz to 20,000 Hz".

Explanation:

• Within this range, the most sensitive frequency range is between 2000-500 Hz.
• Individual hearing capabilities do vary from person to person and decrease with age.
• Sounds which are below this audible range are referred as ‘infrasound’ and those above are called ‘ultrasound’.
• Within this audible range, “the human ear” is highly sensitive and can detect air pressure variations.
• The audible range of humans depends both on ‘the pitch and the loudness’ of the sound.
