Is 18000 hertz a good hearing?

What is the normal human hearing range? 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.

How loud is 10000hz?

For example, a sound at 10,000 Hz must have an intensity level of 30 dB to seem as loud as a 20 dB sound at 1000 Hz. Sounds above 120 phons are painful as well as damaging.

Why can’t adults hear 15000 Hz?

First up, if you can’t hear a sound at 8,000 Hz, you’re either hearing impaired, or not alive, because that’s the point on the spectrum where everyone, regardless of their age, is capable of hearing clearly. At 15,000 Hz, we lose the over-40s, and at 16,000 Hz, anyone over 30 is going to be struggling to hear anything.

Is high frequency sound harmful to humans?
