Supposedly our voices are too low and we sound like noise to them. I watched a video where scientists transformed their voices to the same frequency as a mouse and they were able to train a cat.
I think it’s a poor take on cat hearing. They can hear better than us, but it requires targeted focus from their ears. Which is partly why they have better hearing: they can fixate on sounds by turning their ears.
So when you yell from the other room, the cat likely won’t hear unless their ear is aimed at the sound to pick it up. Which is unlikely.
I own cats, and I’m not sure if they are reacting to me or my voice. Regardless, I never said either was impossible. Only they react differently to high pitches.

Don’t take memes as “truth.”
Every cat owner can tell you that they do know their names when spoken. Also, people can train cats without transforming their voices.

My cat knows my dogs name.
I mean, you did say “we sound like noise to them”, which implies they can’t pick out their names.
