Detailed Solution

The range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz is easily audible to the human ear.
As a result, audible sound is defined as sound waves with frequencies between 20Hz and 20,000Hz. Ultrasonic frequencies are those exceeding 20,000 Hz. Ultrasound frequencies are inside the dogs' and cats' auditory spectrum. Less than 20 Hz corresponds to the infrasonic range for audible sound waves. Elephants and whales can hear this sound, which is inaudible to the human ear.
