Wonder if they got hertz and decibels confused when they were writing that.

So Batman was trying to annoy the tiger away? I think more likely the schlock tv 60s kids show writers just had no idea what they were talking about

Why wouldn't they have just googled it?

Batman wasn't a fan of their privacy practices, even in the 60s.

Google didn't exist yet. They needed to Ask the real Jeeves.

That's a much better joke. Well done. :)

Alternatively they knew exactly what they meant.

This was their version of 2 people typing to fight off a hacker. I would not be surprised to hear that Adam West created a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track an IP address.

Wouldn't that be a bit low? I haven't seen the show but I assume its something humans can't hear but tigers can. Although it is much more reasonable than the insane 20000 db they claim.

Human hearing ranges from approximately 20 hz through 20,000 hz

Approximately. It differs a lot and the upper limit goes down with age. It also depends on loudness. I could hear up to around 16 kHz in my early twenties. I doubt many adults would hear 20 kHz, unless it was very, very loud.

Right but I heard children, especially at very young age can often hear upto 25k so batman is straight up terrorising children.

Given that audio was going through changes from using physical denominators to using db as a standard, this might have confused them
