Generation

# Human Hearing Range **The typical range:** Humans can generally hear frequencies between **20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz)**. Lower frequencies sound like deep bass rumbles, while higher frequencies are perceived as high-pitched tones. ## Common Misconception Many people believe they can hear the full 20 Hz - 20 kHz range throughout their lives. **In reality, hearing range shrinks with age**, particularly at the high end. Most adults over 25 have already lost the ability to hear frequencies above 16-17 kHz, and by middle age, the upper limit often drops to around 12-14 kHz. This age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is completely normal and starts earlier than most people realize.
