 What is the audible range (hearing range) of humans? Correct Answer 20 Hz - 20000 Hz 

The correct answer is 20 Hz - 20000 Hz.

  • The normal hearing frequency range in humans is about 20 to 20000Hz.

Important Points

  • The human hearing range depends on two things – the pitch of the sound whether it is high or low and the loudness of the sound.
  • The normal audible range for loudness is from 0 to 180 dB, but anything over 85 dB can be damaging.
  • Humans and animals hear by picking up on vibrations caused by sound waves in the air.
  • Sounds with a frequency higher than the upper limit of human hearing are called ultrasounds and those below are called infrasound.
