How many Hertz does a dog whistle make?
20,000 Hz
A dog whistle frequency is optimized to produce sounds at or above 20,000 Hz, making it inaudible to the human ear, but plenty audible to a healthy, normal-hearing dog.
How do you adjust dog whistle frequency?
How To Adjust Dog Whistle:
- Pull the metal whistle part out of the plastic sleeve.
- With your dog present, make slight adjustments in pitch by adjusting the screw which is on the opposite side from where you blow into the whistle.
- After each slight adjustment, give the whistle a blow and judge your dog’s reaction.
What dog whistle frequency is most effective?
The frequency of a dog whistle 35,000 Hz is the maximum range that humans are capable of hearing. However, veterinarians state that dogs hear best at 4,000 Hz, which is well within the range of human hearing capabilities.
Do recorded dog whistles work?
No. Phones for humans are not optimized for dog hearing. Most humans can hear intelligible speech with no frequencies higher than 4kHz, although most modern phones can do better than that. Dog whistles are usually at a pitch of 23kHz or higher, which is above human hearing.
Why can I hear my silent dog whistle?
As humans age, it is more common to have issues hearing the high-pitch frequencies. This is why some people will hear a barely audible sound from a dog whistle while others won’t hear it at all.
Do dog whistles really stop dogs from barking?
A dog whistle makes a noise that won’t disturb humans and won’t harm dogs, but the high frequency will annoy any pooch who can hear it. It may cause more barking at first, but if the pup comes to associate their barking with the irritating whistle sound, they may eventually stop barking to avoid the noise.

What’s the best frequency to record a dog whistle?
According to Wikipedia, dog whistles range from 23 kHz to 54 kHz, and you would need a samplerate that is at least double. So… 96 kHz may do the job, but maybe 176.4 or 192 kHz will be needed. Just to condense (ha) a bunch of information here: there are 3 elements of concern:
Do you need a whistle for a dog?
If animal attention is your idea, you don’t need a dog whistler. Use a tone generator software and do it with gear that can handle 96kHz. A tone of 30 kHz will get canine attention. Remember that playing it back requires special speaker in that frequency range.
Can a dog respond to an ultrasonic whistle?
Startling a dog with an ultrasonic frequency is one thing, but dogs will only reliably respond to a whistle as a result of familiarity and training.
