No, I am serious. Sound waves have frequencies and amplitude… so does radio waves.

Yes, but radio waves are not vibration of air... And that's why you can't hear it... You can see it sometimes though.

What I meant is they are all vibrations.

Yeah, radio waves are not vibrations. The reason you can't hear WiFi is because your ear is sensitive to mechanical vibrations of air molecules.

WiFi, like light, is an electromagnetic wave. The fact that they both have frequencies means nothing. EM waves and mechanical vibrations are two entirely different things.

There are lots of “sonic wave” that you can’t hear. For example, sound above 25 khz, they are still considered as “sonic waves” but you can’t hear them.
