Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds $X$, $Y$ and $Z$. Sounds $X$ and $Y$ cannot be heard by a man having normal range of hearing but sound $Z$ can be heard easily. The sound $X$ is used in hospitals to break kidney stones of a patient into fine grains whioch then get flushed out with urine. The sound $Y$ is similar to that which is produced during an earthquake before the main shock wave is generated.
