Best Answer

Sounds at 17 kHz are well above the typical hearing range for adults, so they are unlikely to cause direct damage to your ears. However, exposure to very high frequencies like 17 kHz could potentially lead to discomfort or annoyance, especially if the sound is at a high volume or is sustained for a long period of time. If you experience any pain, ringing in the ears, or other symptoms while exposed to sounds at this frequency, you should remove yourself from the source and consult a healthcare professional if needed.

What is a frequency of a wavelength?

The conventional definitions of wavelengths are as follows: * Shortwave band: 3,000 kHz to 30,000 kHz or 3–30 MHz * Medium wave band: generally 530-1700 KHz, used by AM radio stations worldwide * Longwave: 148.5 to 283.5 kHz, used mostly in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, etcetera, for AM radio broadcasting. It can be generalized that longwave is anything below 530 KHz, medium wave is 530 to 1700 KHz, and shortwave is anything from 1700 KHz to 30,000 KHz. A basic calculation for wavelength in meters is 300/F, where F is the frequency in megahertz. Thus a frequency of 30 MHz has a wavelength of 300 / 30 = 10 meters. A more common designation of radio bands is by frequency bands. Here's a PDF chart that shows those designations. http://www.arrl.org/hrlm/additions/2-17.pdf
