Document Summary

The auditory system translates sound waves into audition. Auditory system can translate sound waves from vibrating objects into the psychological experience of audition. Trees make sound waves, but auditory systems make audition. The sounds waves themselves do not make sound unless an auditory system is present to translate those waves into the perceptual experience of audition. According to specific needs: whether they live in water, land or air; whether they need to communicate over long distances; whether they need to be able to receive high or low frequency sounds, and so on. Species vary in the range of frequencies they can detect. Ex// if you blow a dog whistle, you know that blowing the whistle doesn"t produce any audible sound to your own ears, but you will certainly have a dog"s attention. The dog whistle produces a sound at a high frequency that is beyond the range of human ears but well within the range of the dog"s auditory system.
