How many voices can a human hear?
Humans can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. (Human infants can actually hear frequencies slightly higher than 20 kHz, but lose some high-frequency sensitivity as they mature; the upper limit in average adults is often closer to 15–17 kHz.)

Can humans hear db?
The highest sound a human can hear in decibels is about 130-140 dB. While we may be able to hear sounds above this level, it is highly unrecommended that we expose ourselves to them. Sounds above 130 dB can cause intense pain in the ears and immediate and irreversible hearing damage.

Can humans hear 5000 hz?
While 20 to 20,000Hz forms the absolute borders of the human hearing range, our hearing is most sensitive in the 2000 - 5000 Hz frequency range. As far as loudness is concerned, humans can typically hear starting at 0 dB.
