The average range of human hearing is considered to be roughly
from  20 Hz  to  20,000 Hz .

A).  No.  Too high.  You hear nothing.

B).  No.  Too low.  You may hear something that sounds like
                               rapidly pumping wind, but not a sound tone.

C).  Yes.  1,000 Hz is roughly the 'C' on the piano that is
                 two octaves above middle-C .

               A wave at this rate feels like a breezy day.
