Wouldn't that be a bit low? I haven't seen the show but I assume its something humans can't hear but tigers can. Although it is much more reasonable than the insane 20000 db they claim.
Human hearing ranges from approximately 20 hz through 20,000 hz
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range
Approximately. It differs a lot and the upper limit goes down with age. It also depends on loudness. I could hear up to around 16 kHz in my early twenties. I doubt many adults would hear 20 kHz, unless it was very, very loud.
Right but I heard children, especially at very young age can often hear upto 25k so batman is straight up terrorising children.
