That dog has just heard a sound that is too high-pitched (声调高的) for you to hear.The Science of SoundObjects that are vibrating

The frequency of a sound is the number of waves that pass a given point each second. The more rapidly an object vibrates, the greater the frequency of sound it mak
46、es. Frequency is measured in hertz. One hertz equals one sound wave per second.The frequency of sound determines the degree of highness or lowness of the sound. A highpitched sound has a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound. Humans hear sounds that have frequencies from about 20 hertz to 20,000
47、 hertz.Seeing with SoundSound with a frequency higher than 20,000 hertz is called ultrasound. In other words, ultrasound is too high-pitched for humans to hear. However, any animals can hear ultrasound. Bats can hear higher sounds than any other animal. Some can hear up to 210,000 hertz. Bats send out lots of highpitched squeaks(吱吱叫声) and then listen to the echoes bouncing(弹跳) off things like insects. The shorter the time interval between the squeak and the echo, the closer they are to the insect. Using sound to find or “see“ things
