Yes; dogs are not the only animals who can hear "dog" whistles. The dog whistles give off a frequency that is just above what most people can hear; most animals with hearing more accute than humans' can hear a dog whistle.

Yes, I have successfully deterred crows that are up to 100 metres high in trees using the silent setting. Sometimes it only takes a few blasts if they are close, but from a distance it can take more than five minutes of blowing. It helps to move the whistle from top to bottom or left to right. Repeat the process until they are completely gone.

The Louisiana state website has a chart showing some animals ranges of hearing. Many are able to hear at the same or higher levels as the dog, and so could potentially hear a dog whistle.

Any other animals can hear a dog whistle because of their mouth and the air in the mouth can pass trough out by the mouth that mean they can whistle.

Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?

There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.


Can dog whistle hurt humans?

Yes, only if used along with a proper training program. No one dog will take to the whistle right away a cycle of positive reinforcement along with the whistle needs to occur. The best thing is to try and associate the whistle with something good/bad depending on the type of training you are doing.

What whistles heard by dogs and not people have more than vps?

It's unknown exactly how many vibrations per second a dog whistle is. But since humans can hear only from about 20-20,000 vibrations per second, a dog whistle must have more vps. Therefore, a dog whistle can range anywhere from about 40,000 vps-about 100,000 vps.


How can you make a science project that demonstrates how a dogs hearing is better than a humans hearing?

Got a dog? Get one of those dog whistles from the pet store that farmers use. Humans can't hear them so when you whistle it a dog will hear it (and hopefully come) and humans won't. Good luck. That was some else's answer, im doing my project on how different types of music affect a dog's pulse, in this way i sort of learn how dog's hear certain pitches, but yes, somehow involve the whistle in that too if yoy'd like... just sort of an idea.... believe me i understand, i have had to do quite a few science fair projects myself :) =D =P =) ~Emily~

Can you hear a dog whistle if you blow on it really hard?

"no because a dog whistles frequency is so high that no person can hear it no matter how hard you blow" You could possibly hear some sound... most dog whistles work in the range of 16-22 kHz and the human hearing range tops out around 20kHz so if your hearing is very good it may be possible to hear the whistle's lower frequencies.


Why do dog owners use a whistle they cant hear?

We can not hear dog whistles because they are far too high pitch (they are out of our hearing range). However, dogs can hear this and they respond to it as if it was a regular whistle, returning to their owner or turning their attention back to the owner. Dog whistles are also designed not to annoy other people.
