Audible sound waves, as the name implies, are sound waves that can be heard by the human ear. Audible sound waves typically have a frequency range between 20 Hz to 20000 Hz.
Sound waves that are less than 20 Hz are classified as infrasonic sound waves, while those that exceed 20000 Hz are classified as ultrasonic waves.
Result:
Infrasonic sound waves - <20 Hz
Audible sound waves 20 Hz - 20000 Hz
Ultrasonic sound waves - >20000 Hz
