      • The audible range of sound refers to the range of frequencies that can be heard by an organism.
      • The audible range of sound for human beings is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This range can vary due to age and change in environmental factors.
      • Sounds below 20 Hz are called infrasounds and sounds above 20,000 Hz are termed ultrasounds and they cannot be perceived by the human ear.
      • Infrasounds can be perceived by animals like elephants (14 Hz to 12,000 Hz) and ultrasounds can be heard by animals like bats (1000 Hz to 200,000 Hz).
