    Well I think men and women must have different speaking range, men having limited one and women having the entire possible range of sound. (humour) 😀

    Generally speaking:

    Male: 50 Hz - 200 Hz
    Female: 150 Hz -300 Hz
    Children: 200 Hz- 400 Hz

    However, there is more to it than this. For example, I have good hearing at those frequencies in both ears, but have to wear a hearing aid in one ear to be able to understand speech, because I have large hearing losses in that ear starting at 2000 Hz through 8000 Hz.

    Here is an explanation from another web site:

    16 to 32 Hz - The human threshold of feeling, and the lowest pedal notes of a pipe organ.

    32 to 512 Hz - Rhythm frequencies, where the lower and upper bass notes lie.

    512 to 2,048 Hz - Defines human speech intelligibility, gives a horn-like or tinny quality to sound.

    2,048 to 8,192 Hz - Gives presence to speech, where labial and fricative sounds lie.

    8,192 to 16,384 Hz - Brilliance, the sounds of bells and the ringing of cymbals. In speech, the sound of the letter "S" (8000-11000 Hz)

    And:

    32.70 Hz - Lowest C on a standard 88-key piano.

    261.63 - Middle C on a standard 88-key piano.

    4,186 - Highest note on a standard 88-key piano.
