Homework Statement


I downloaded wave files of bat cry. I played it on computer And I was able to hear it?
Shouldn't that be ultrasonic??

Here is the sample

How do you think you are able to hear it? What could they have done to the sound to make you able to hear it?
 
Did some tempered it? re-modulate it on lower frequency so we could hear it?
 
Bats use a whole range of frequencies.
 
oh
you mean if use fft on the sound file I will see frequency above haring range??
