Solution

The threshold of hearing is 0 dB.

Explanation:

The threshold of hearing refers to the quietest sound level that a person with normal hearing can detect. This level is defined as 0 dB (decibels) at a standard frequency of 1000 Hz. The other value, 20 Hz, refers to the lowest frequency (pitch) a human can typically hear, not the minimum intensity (loudness).
