|With high frequency hearing, you can detect ultrasound, which means that

Low frequency soundwaves travel farther. And (I think) low frequency
hearing allows you to hear things like heartbeats and earth tremors
(before they become apparant).

Check out what benefits elephants get from their low frequency
hearing.
