Question

The audible frequency range of an average human ear is ____.

  1. 20 Hz to 2 kHz
  2. 10 Hz to 2 kHz
  3. 20 Hz to 20 kHz
  4. 2 kHz to 20 kHz

hintHint:

20Hz-20KHz.

The correct answer is: 20 Hz to 20 kHz


    • The audible frequency range is 20Hz to 20KHz.
    • Above or below this range, an average human ear cannot perceive sound.
    • So, the correct option is c.

    • Sound which has frequency less than 20Hz is called infrasound.
    • Sound which has frequency more than 20KHz is called Ultrasound.
