[edit] Hearing in humans
Humans can generally hear sounds with frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. Human hearing is able to discriminate small differences in loudness (intensity) and pitch (frequency) over that large range of audible sound. This healthy human range of frequency detection varies significantly with age, occupational hearing damage, and gender; some individuals are able to hear pitches up to 22 kHz and perhaps beyond, while others are limited to about 16 kHz. The ability of most adults to hear sounds above about 8 kHz begins to deteriorate in early middle age.[2]

roughly between 16Hz to about 1440 Hz, above or below that notes start to become incomprehensible noise but what super cool is that the logic and laws of octaves extend towards to infinity in either direction... so in theory there is inaccessible ranges of music ,mathematics and logic beyond human sensory limitations which can only be perceived by the intellect or hypersensitive detecting devices. Pythagoras was aware of these extreme frequencies over 2,500 years ago and was very well aware of UFH and VHF freq ranges. He mapped them out in his Music Of THe Spheres

The threshold of human hearing for a 5 year old is 20 - 28,000Hz (vibrations per second).
As you grow older the higher frequencies tend to get lost.
The hairs in your air which vibrate are damaged due to old age, or prolonged loud music, and they are not replaced.
A 45 year old adult will have a range of about 28 - 19,000Hz.

I think I read that the human ear can hear frequencies from about 35 hertz to about 3500 hertz. I don't know at what frequencies each note sounds. If you can find out the frequencies of each note, you should be able to find the answer to your question.

3 octaves above middle C on the piano and 3 octaves below middle C on the piano.
