Find out which of these musical instruments are almost out of our earshot!
Did you know that some high-pitch musical instruments can produce sounds that are too high for the human ear to hear?
High-pitch instruments are those that produce sounds with a relatively high frequency, often above 1,000Hz. These instruments include piccolos, flutes, clarinets, and some types of cymbals. Due to their high frequency, they can add brightness and sparkle to musical compositions and are often used to create a sense of excitement or urgency in music.
The human hearing range typically spans from 20Hz to 20,000Hz (or 20kHz). However, as we age or due to exposure to loud noises, our ability to hear high-frequency sounds diminishes. This means that some high-pitch instruments, such as piccolos and some cymbals, can produce sounds that are beyond our hearing range.
Can you arrange these musical instruments based on their pitches – from highest to lowest?
