Could you share with me a graph on sound perception by humans and animals?

it's impossible to get animal perceptions because at this time it's impossible to go in to the mind of an animal, let alone a human being.

Of course. Sound isn't defined as something we hear. It's defined as a propagating wave of vibrating air molecules.\n\nIf sound is defined as just things we hear, does that mean dolphins and bats echolocation chirps don't make a sound? Yes, they make a sound, just we can't hear it. Hearing and sound are two different things.

Humans have a higher brain function and can make choices.  Animals are just animals and don't stop to think about where they should do it, they just do it.

there is a lot of research on sound/acoustics here is a good source of information http://www.livesoundint.com/

Every animal has a language, whether visual or verbal. Think about the hundredth monkey theory.

Sensory details? Imagery?

Firstly they have a coned ear which basically can be turned to the direction of the sound, thus collecting more soundwaves than the human ear. \n\nThen the frequency of sound they can hear. Humans can hear any sound in the frequency band of 20Hz to 20000Hz. Anything above or below is inaudible to human ear. On the other hand are much more broader extending high and low to the human audible range.\n\n.:Fishie:.

Well, yes we do. As long as the ears are correct, we'll hear the same. BUT, how our brain reacts to what we hear is a totally different matter. Since the brain is trying to make sense of what our ears receieve, then we know for a fact that we all will hear something different from each other, simply because all the ears in the world aren't connected to the same brain....

well... if u want to know the scientific reason , they have got a sound box called `syrinx' where we have the "larynx".\nand no..they are not talking. they do not have a broca`s area for that ., it only developed in humans..    communicating yes.as for the ranges of their sound, each one is meant for diff. purposes.(feeding, mating).this is my surmise. anyway, its a lovely ques..

If everyone in the world was deaf, and the tree fell, it would still make a sound, but we just can't hear. \n\nA dog can hear things humans can't, but it doesn't mean those sounds don't exist.

The Planet I live on and the animals I see and hear!!!

Yep, most animals have vocalisations that differ between males and females.\n\nThat may be harder to pick for animals that we have bred to be highly variable like dogs, but even there within a specific breed it is usually possible to differentiate the males and females by their bark.\n\nBut certainly it is easy to differentiate roosters from hens, bulls from cows or stallions from mares based upon just the sound alone.\n\nBy the time we get to animals like frogs or cicadas it becomes extremely easy to do because only the males make any sound. The females are mute.

I think you would do well to look a while at this excellent - but - simpliefied source on neuroscience:\n\nhttp://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/introb.html
