Detailed explanation-1: -The Inner Ear As the fluid moves, 25, 000 nerve endings are set into motion. These nerve endings transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that then travel along the eighth cranial nerve (auditory nerve) to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals, and this is how we hear.
Detailed explanation-2: -Signals from the right ear travel to the auditory cortex located in the temporal lobe on the left side of the brain. Signals from the left ear travel to the right auditory cortex. The auditory cortices sort, process, interpret and file information about the sound.
Detailed explanation-3: -Any frequency below 20 Hz is called infrasound and any frequency above 20 kHz is called ultrasound. These are inaudible sounds. So, we cannot hear inaudible sounds, ultrasound, and infrasound.
Detailed explanation-4: -Infrasonic Waves (Infrasound) Despite our inability to hear infrasound, many animals use infrasonic waves to communicate in nature.
