Me: If humans lose the ability to hear high frequency volumes as they get older, can my 4 week old son hear a dog whistle?

Doctor: No, humans can never hear that high of a frequency no matter what age they are.

Me: Trick question... dogs can't whistle.

    What if they can and we can't hear it?

    @HitWRight My guess is the reason dogs sense things from us and other people who think they are being quiet. It is because they can hear those frequencies. Like a dog can detect epileptic seizures before they happen. Is it smell, is it sound, is it a combination?

    Also, if you get a transducer and divide the freq down you can hear freq dogs can. It is common to do this to hear bats.

    Of course they can!
    But as dogs are an inherently subtle species, their whistling is called barking...
