Correct Answer: 20 - 20,000 Hz
Solution : The correct option is 20 - 20,000 Hz.
The average human's ability to sense sound frequencies ranges between 20 Hertz (Hz) and 20,000 Hertz (20 kHz). This range, however, can vary from person to person and may diminish with age. Infrared frequencies are those below 20 Hertz and are often felt rather than heard. Above 20 kHz, frequencies are called ultrasonic and are also outside the range of human hearing.
