  1. Sound waves below the frequency of 20Hz, are called infrasonic waves. They cannot be heard by the human ear,
  2. Sound waves of the frequency between 20Hzto20,000Hz is the audible range. Humans ears can perceive sound waves of this range of frequency normally.
  3. Sound waves above the frequency of 20,000Hz are called ultrasonic frequency.

Hence, the audible range of the average human ear is 20Hzto20,000Hz.
