Some animals can hear much better than humans. Our dogs hear things that seem nearly impossible to hear.
It’s amazing, although it stands to reason, that rabbits have even better hearing than dogs which prey on them. I have read that a rabbit can hear a conversational tone at two miles away. I’ve had a few pet rabbits, and their hearing is almost supernatural, although it definitely works differently than ours does.
I have 3 cats. One just turned 15 and nothing phases it whatsoever. One is 2 and the other is a feral I managed to trap and bring inside. The latter 2 have only known me as I live alone since my husband passed. They are TERRIFIED of strangers. ANY stranger. So, when a car turns into my 700 ft. driveway, long before I know it, they are tearing off to hide under my bed. Guess I stand corrected on animals only “knowing” about natural events! :)
remember the Far Side cartoon where the lady is sitting in a chair and next to her are 2 dogs staring at the closet door. One says to the other ‘this oughta freak her out’, pretending to hear something...

So true. My cat hear things I can’t and it’s amazing watching them.
And they know the sound of cheese plastic from almost any other sound
