For a person with normal hearing, when it comes to pitch the human hearing range starts low at about 20 Hz.

These choices are not "levels" of sound. They're frequencies of sound.

The lower limit of audible frequency is usually considered to be 20 Hz.
But there are some people with ears that can hear 10 Hz, and others ...
particularly the elderly ... who can't hear anything below 100 Hz.

The question is a rather poor one.
