Ok, its not another relationship thread... sorry 2 dissapoint some of u...

however... on my way home from work 2 while listening 2 "Andain - beautiful things" i stopped @ some traffic lights, and a pedestrian was walking some dogs... and i got 2 thinking...

Humans have a selective hearing range, dogs have a higher range... now my question is... could there be some sounds which are heard by dogs, or other animals in our fave tracks which we dont hear?

opinions? thoughts? comments?

No why would they?

If dogs made trance tracks then maybe but because humans make the songs, whatever they hear, we hear.

oh no I'm going to freak out now

sometimes when you listen to a track on your computer or a boombox, its hard to hear the really kick ass bass layers..

you need a high power system or hear the song in a club to get the full effect,

my friend, freshman year in the dorms had a massive sound system, to quality subs and everything (when he played music ppl on the floor below us could hear us!) but anyways he played Crystal Method - Vegas CD and track 4, i forget the name of the track off the top of my head.. but its the space one, where they used the effects from NASA..

HIGH ROLLER , i just rememebered it! so yeah listening to that, there is a powerful bass kick underlyng everything that you wouldnt be able to hear on a normal boombox stereo or whatever..


SO yeah it can depend on your setup, on what you hear and don't hear, but as for frequencies that dogs or other animals can hear, i doubt it

^^actually I think what he was talking about was the frequency range that is higher pitched which humans cannot hear and dogs can. kinda like a dog whistle.


I am sure it is possible, however if you burnt a mp3 onto a disk I don't think it would work. When files are in mp3 format you chop off some unesessary frequencies that you cannot hear. however if they were never mp3's and straight from the studio, there might be some distortion that the dog hears that you don't.


but the bottom line is, your not missing out on anything.

dogs have the ablity to hear higher frequencies.

think of hearing ranges of animals this way. The larger the head of an animal, the lower frequencies it hears, and the smaller the head, the higher frequencies it hears.

elephants - low frequencies

so most likely the dogs wouldnt be hearing too much difference of your track because i assume you have an mp3 at 192kbps quality so most of the higher frequencies are cut out anyways.

Dogs can hear >22khz, the end limit of the human audible range (most people can only even hear 18,000-19,000...when I tested myself with an analogue synthesizer, sine waves only up to 18,500 could be heard). Things like CDs right out of a store probably sound very very different to a dog than they do to us.

If you wanted them to sound the same to a dog, you would have to cut all the frequencies above 22khz. Not sure what the point would be though, because we don't even know how well animals can interpret music.

like the episode of the Simpsons when they use Barry White to herd all the snakes in the Simpsons house. haha

good ole Whacking Day!

No because most speakers dont have the frequency response needed for such high frequencies.

I thought it was the other way around, that most go up to 28k or 30k, and only a few only go up to 22k.
