You can suffer hearing damage from both high frequency sounds and overly loud sounds . Frequently using headphones at a loud volume can cause permanent hearing loss.
Read moreWhat are high and low frequency sounds?
Low-frequency sounds are 500 Hz or lower while high-frequency waves are above 2000 Hz . Human ears can register sounds from about 20 Hz in frequency up to 20,000 Hz, depending of course, upon the hearer. People with hearing loss usually have trouble hearing sounds in the higher frequency range.6 Eki 2017
Read moreWhat describes a high-frequency sound?
High-frequency sound waves produce high-pitched sounds , and low-frequency sound waves produce low-pitched sounds. Infrasound has wave frequencies too low for humans to hear. Ultrasound has wave frequencies too high for humans to hear.26 Eyl 2019

Tinnitus happens when we consciously hear a sound that does not come from any source outside the body . It is not a disease, but a symptom of an underlying problem. The noise is usually subjective, meaning that only the person who has tinnitus can hear it. The most common form is a steady, high-pitched ringing.
Read moreWhat do high-frequency sounds do to your brain?
The hypersonic effect is a phenomenon in which sounds containing significant quantities of non-stationary high-frequency components (HFCs) above the human audible range (max. 20 kHz) activate the midbrain and diencephalon and evoke various physiological, psychological and behavioral responses .
Read moreWhat are examples of high-frequency sounds?
Examples of “high-frequency” sounds are a bird chirping, a whistle, and the “s” sound in “sun.”
Read moreWhat is a high-frequency noise?
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.12 Oca 2016
