1. Sound of frequencies less than about 20 vibrations per second (20 Hz) cannot be detected by the human ear.
2. Such sounds are called inaudible.
3. On the other side, sound of frequencies more than about 20,000 vibrations per second (20,000 Hz) are also not audible to the human ears.
4. Thus for human ears, the range of audible frequencies is roughly between 20 to 20,000 Hz.
