What animal can hear miles away?

Horses have the ability to hear sounds from as far as 2.5 miles away. They can detect sounds up to 25 kHz and can rotate their ears 180 degrees. This allows them to determine the exact direction that the sound is coming from.

Can elephants hear better than humans?

Hearing. Elephants have good hearing, detecting sounds as low as 14 to 16 hz (human low range: 20 hz) and as high as 12,000 hz (human high range: 20,000). Elephants frequently use infrasonic sounds, which are sounds emitted below the human hearing range, in long-distance communication.

How far can a human hear?

The normal intelligible outdoor range of the male human voice in still air is 180 m (590 ft 6.6 in). The silbo, the whistled language of the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Canary Island of La Gomera, is intelligible under ideal conditions at 8 km (5 miles).

What animal hears well?

Well, the phrase is extremely accurate! Elephants have some of the best hearing around. They can hear at frequencies 20 times lower than humans. It isn't just their ears that perceive sound; these majestic beasts also have receptors in their trunks and feet that are excellent at picking up low-frequency vibrations.

What animals can hear low frequencies?

Several animal species are able to hear frequencies well beyond the human hearing range. Some dolphins and bats, for example, can hear frequencies up to 100,000 Hz. Elephants can hear sounds at 14–16 Hz, while some whales can hear infrasonic sounds as low as 7 Hz.

What sounds can cats hear?

A cat, however, is most sensitive to sounds of around 8,000 Hertz (8 kHz.) They can also hear up to 64 kHz, which is 1.6 octaves above the upper range of human hearing (which is about 20 kHz).

How far can Bats hear?

Recording Bats

When recording ultrasonic sounds such as bat echolocations, a good rule of thumb is that most bat species can be detected at a distance of 30m with a likely maximum of 100m for a very loud, low frequency bat pointing directly at you in perfect conditions.

What is a cat's hearing range?

The hearing range of the cat for sounds of 70 dB SPL extends from 48 Hz to 85 kHz, giving it one of the broadest hearing ranges among mammals. Analysis suggests that cats evolved extended high-frequency hearing without sacrifice of low-frequency hearing.

Are elephants afraid of mice?

According to some, elephants are afraid of mice, because they fear that mice will crawl up their trunks. This could cause irritation and blockage, making it hard for elephants to breathe. ... They say it's just as likely that the elephant was merely surprised by the mouse—not afraid of it.

How far can you hear a yell?

Probably half a mile (0.8 km).

How far can a dog hear?

The other strong sense your dog has is the sense of hearing. Where you might be able to hear something roughly 50-100 feet away, you dog can hear something as far away as a quarter of a mile, sometimes even farther. Dog's ears are also built in a formation that helps them receive sound waves more clearly than humans.
