The range of human hearing is a conventional range that defines which sounds are audible to the human ear and which we are unable to perceive. In most people, the range of hearing falls within the frequency range of acoustic waves from 16 Hz to 20 kHz. This range may have slight deviations depending on the characteristics of the individual and their age. As the body ages, the range of audible sounds shrinks.
The limits of hearing refer to the upper and lower frequencies of acoustic waves, as well as the upper and lower limits of the sound pressure level of individual sounds that can be heard by the human ear. According to research, our body is most sensitive to sounds with a frequency that oscillates around 4 kHz.
