What frequency are most EVPs captured on?

Question

I think I recall that most are captured above 2000 Mghz but I can't remember where I heard it or any info to back it up. Has anyone else heard different or know where I can get the info?

Answer 1

The range of human hearing is around 20 Hz to 20 Mhz, and vocal range is much narrower than that. A male speaking voice will have a fundamental vocal frequency of around 100-150 Hz and a soprano might hit a C6 (1100 Hz), just for reference. The world record for highest tone according to Guiness is an amazing G10 (25087 Hz), outside the range of normal hearing, but that is certainly a rarity. Not sure what "Mghz" is, perhaps you meant Mhz or Megahertz?

Also, it's important to note that most consumer level microphones are specifically designed to pick up frequencies well within the 20 Hz - 20 Mhz range (typically much narrower than that, actually), so if "ghosts" are "speaking" at higher frequencies, there's no way to record it.

But anyway, the above is probably moot since if a ghost was going to make a sound, it won't have a voicebox to do it with. From my reading, most EVPers don't speed up or slow down their recordings, although it's not unheard of and some do it. That would mean that most EVPers think that ghosts "speak" in the same frequency range that we can hear in.  Your point is well taken, however, that we should be hearing ghosts speaking on recordings all the time if that were the case, but we don't.

Answer 2

The people at the link below should be able to provide that information and more.

What would be more interesting by the way instead of being at a frequency that humans can't hear (like dog whistles) would be if it was at a frequency that humans couldn't produce.

Answer 3

422.14 HZ, -81.72 db, general idea

Answer 4

If EVPs were above the normal range of human hearing then a device designed to capture sound in the range of normal human hearing (i.e. a digital or tape recorder) wouldn't be much good would it?

In other words, if a recorder can hear it I can hear it, and vice versa.  EVPs are nothing more than auditory pareidolia.

Answer 5

2000 Hz maybe but 2000 Mgzh is 2 Ghz  That is up where satellite TV like Dish and DirecTV   and some phone services are transmitted at.
