How are sounds measured? Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) [hurts]. A low- frequency sound is about 500 Hz or lower. A high- frequency sound is about 2,000 Hz and higher .
Read moreWhat does low frequency waves mean?
Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz . Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km, respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre wave. LF radio waves exhibit low signal attenuation, making them suitable for long-distance communications.

High frequency (HF) is an electromagnetic frequency defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for radar and radio communications . It operates in a range of three to thirty MHz and as the wavelengths spread over ten to one hundred meters, it is also known as decameter wave and designated as band 7.

Read moreWhat is considered a high-frequency?
High frequency sound is sound of which the frequency lies between 8 and 20 kHz . High frequency sound with a frequency over 16 kHz can hardly be heard, but it is not completely inaudible. High frequency sound and even ultrasound in the lower frequency zone (up to 24 kHz) can be audible if the sound level is high enough.
Read moreIs 10 Hz a low-frequency?
The range from 10Hz to 100Hz may be considered as the low frequency region , with a possible extension by an octave at each end. There is no need to consider infrasound as a “special case”. However, audible sounds at the lowest frequencies will be at a high decibel level (Table I).
Read moreIs 7 Hz low-frequency?
Especially dangerous is infrasound at the frequency of 7 Hz , since this sound, generating frequencies, close to characteristic frequencies of the organs of our body, may disturb the heart or brain activity. Machines, natural sources storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. generate infrasound.
