What Sounds Can Cats Hear

A cat, however, is most sensitive to sounds of around 8,000 Hertz (8 kHz.) They can also hear up to 64 kHz, which is 1.6 octaves above the upper range of human hearing (which is about 20 kHz).

What sounds do cats like to hear?

Cats of all ages will appreciate soothing sounds, whether classical music, nature sounds or music created specifically for them.

What sounds do cats respond to?

It may not be a coincidence that a cat’s vocalization to humans is a high-pitched “meow.” Cats have been noted to respond better to high-pitched human voices, and prefer women’s voices to men’s. Cats also respond to names containing the long e-vowel, or “ee” sound.
