The Picture

  • Even better is that it's Dale's ear. She's not what you'd call "well-groomed". :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

Pitch?

Has there been an instance where he's heard a sound with a pitch beyond that of normal hearing? Even a tuning fork puts out sound within the range of human hearing, it was just that it was so close and so loud (to him) that it was painful. (Admin 18:23, 15 May 2007 (EDT))

  • The tuning fork is the only thing that's close to upper normal pitch range, and heartbeats is what's closest to the lower pitch range. What could really tell us his range is if someone blew a dog whistle in his presence (for higher-than-normal-pitch hearing), or if a parade of elephants walked by (for lower-than-normal-pitch hearing).--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:35, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
    • Yeah, since both tuning forks and heartbeats are within the human range I think it may be presumptuous to say he can hear any pitch. He can definitely hear very faint sounds that are within the human range, but I don't think we've seen instances like your dog whistle example where he's heard sounds outside of the human frequency range.
