If I record a dog whistle to MP3, would the dog hear the whistle?

Answer 1

It depends on the frequency response of your recorder and player, it may not have a range high enough to record and play back such a HF sound. Best to try and ask the dog if he heard it ok!! (See if he / she responds)

Answer 2

It would depend on what ranges your microphone picks up. Audio equipment usually has a range, something like 20 - 20,000 Hz. If the dog's sound falls out of that range then the microphone won't pick it up. Some audio equipment ranges exceed the human hearing range, so I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. If your microphone can pick it up, your computer can definitely record it, because by that time it's just data.

Oh yeah, and you would need speakers that have a high enough range, too, if you wanted to play it back.

Answer 3

A dogs whistle is inaudible to the human ear. Just think your dog could be sitting in his basket whistling the score to the "Sound of Music" and you can't even hear it!!!

Answer 4

It depends if the microphone can record sounds over 20,000 hz, it probably doesn't, it also depends on whether or not the speaker can reproduce it. If you have some decent quality equipment, you might be able to do it, I don't know for certain though. Go ahead and try it with the dog.

Answer 5

I doubt it, I thought that MP3's recorded/played such small bytes of data because they only record those notes within the human range of hearing.
That's why some die hards prefer vinyl, because that records everything, and would take a lot more space to store digitally.

Answer 6

you have a dog that whistles, thats very clever.....yes he would as the frequency would be lowered by the reproiduction and it would lose its pitch enough to become a normal whistle !

Answer 7

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

Answer 8

It depends how loud the sound is, dogs have excellent hearing so they can hear it if it is amplified.

Answer 9

Only if he could fit your earplugs in his ears. Which would not be very hygienic for you to use afterwards. It may also scare him somewhat so probably best not to do so.

Answer 10

Lance W,
