A harvest mouse can detect sounds as quiet as -10 . Suppose you are sitting in a field on a very quiet day while a harvest mouse sits nearby at the entrance to its nest. A very gentle breeze causes a leaf 1.8 from your head to rustle, generating a faint sound right at the limit of your ability to hear it. The sound of the rustling leaf is also right at the threshold of hearing of the harvest mouse.
