Answer 2

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

why? @emmilinev

Answer 5

yes but i don't know why we cant perceive very high or very low pitched sounds

Answer 6

We can only hear sounds (pressure oscillations) that are in frequencies resonant to the hairs in our ears. So why can't we hear high or low frequencies? we dont have hairs that resonate with those frequencies.

Answer 8

A big part of it is the shape of the structure that contains the "hairs".
