What is the loudest sound possible?

The Krakatoa volcanic eruption: Not only did it cause serious damage to the island, the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 created the loudest sound ever reported at 180 dB. It was so loud it was heard 3,000 miles (5,000 km) away.

Can humans hear 20 Hz?

The ‘normal’ hearing frequency range of a healthy young person is about 20 to 20,000Hz. Though a ‘normal’ audible range for loudness is from 0 to 180dB, anything over 85dB is considered damaging, so we should try not to go there. As we age, it’s the upper frequencies we lose first.

What frequency do humans vibrate at?

The important parts of the human body vibration frequency are generally located in about 3 Hz–17 Hz. According to the International Standard ISO 2631 in the vertical vibration of the human body, the sensitive range is located in 6 Hz–8 Hz.

What is the highest frequency a human can make?

That’s about the same as the lowest pedal on a pipe organ. On the other side of the human hearing range, the highest possible frequency heard without discomfort is 20,000Hz. While 20 to 20,000Hz forms the absolute borders of the human hearing range, our hearing is most sensitive in the 2000 – 5000 Hz frequency range.

Can 20000 Hz kill you?

Humans can only hear sound waves between 20 and 20,000 Hz, but sound waves can still affect us below that threshold. Outside, sound waves disperse and dissipate too quickly to reach lethal levels.

Do females hear higher frequencies?

Females as a group have greater hearing sensitivity, greater susceptibility to noise exposure at high frequencies, shorter latencies in their auditory brain-stem responses, more spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs), and stronger click-evoked otoa- coustic emissions than males as a group.
