The Remarkable Acoustic Abilities of Dogs
Dogs possess an extraordinary sense of hearing, which allows them to detect and interpret sounds far beyond human capabilities. Their acute auditory system is finely tuned to perceive frequencies ranging from 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, compared to the average human range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This wide range enables dogs to detect high-pitched sounds imperceptible to us. Moreover, dogs excel at discerning the direction and distance of a sound source.
