The frequency range of human hearing is often reported to be between 20 and 20,000 Hz. As we grow older, we all tend to lose the ability to hear higher frequencies.
Many bird songs have frequency ranges between 1,000 Hz and 8,000 Hz, which places them in the sweet spot of human hearing. On the high end, many warblers, sparrows, waxwings, kinglets, and a number of other birds produce sounds that reach 8,000 Hz and beyond. Examples of the frequency ranges of bird songs:
Brown Creeper: from 3750 to 8000 Hz
Cedar Waxwing: from 6000 to 8000 Hz
Blackpoll Warbler: from 8000 to 10,000 Hz
On the low end, Dwarf Cassowaries in New Guinea have been recorded giving calls as low as 23 Hz.
