Detailed Solution

The range of hearing of the human ears is 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Normal hearing can detect frequencies between 20 Hz and 20000 Hz. This hearing range is influenced by factors such as age, profession, and gender. As we age, our ability to hear at high frequencies decreases by about 12 kHz. The terms "ultrasound" and "infrasound" are used to describe sounds that are louder than human hearing thresholds. Every living thing on the planet has a finite range of hearing. Audible frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz are audible to humans.
