The accurate description of vibrations is that, neither ultrasonic nor infrasonic vibrations can be heard by humans. The Infrasonic vibration frequency is lower than 20Hz, whereas ultrasonic vibration frequency is greater than 20,000Hz. The normal range of frequency of hearing for humans is only 20Hz-20,000Hz.
