Also called infrasound, low-frequency sounds stand for sound waves with a frequency below the lower limit of audibility (which is generally at about 20 Hz). Low-frequency sounds are all sounds measured at about 500 Hz and under.
Read moreCan we hear 10 Hz?
The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz. Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz and as high as 28 kHz , though the threshold increases sharply at 15 kHz in adults, corresponding to the last auditory channel of the cochlea.
Read moreWhat is considered a low-frequency?
Anything below 200 Hz is considered low frequency and anything above 2,000 Hz is high frequency sound.

“Mosquitone Detector” is a new sound measurement app that detects high-frequency noises and ultrasonic sounds hard to hear for human ears . It may have been exposed to artificial high-frequency noise while you do not notice. This app can detect and visualize such high-frequency noises.
Read moreWhat is the difference between low and high-frequency?
The lower the frequency, the fewer the oscillations. High frequencies produce more oscillations . The units of frequency are called hertz (Hz). Humans with normal hearing can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.
Read moreIs low or high frequency louder?
The answer to this question is clearly no. You might suspect, that the higher the frequency, the louder we perceive a noise , but frequency does not tell us how loud a sound is. Intensity or loudness is the amount of energy of a vibration and is measured in decibels (dB). If a sound is loud, it has a high intensity.
Read moreHow do you determine low frequency?
Low frequency noise (LFN) is generally defined on the Common Octave Bands as 250 hertz (Hz) or less . You might know it better as that chest-rattling thump of the bass from a car driving past with its music cranked. You can’t really make out the song, but you can feel the beat in your chest.
