Babies respond to sound starting at about 24 weeks of gestation.Fetuses can respond to sound by 24 week or so.Acoustic stimulations can evoke a fetal heart rate response.There is no such thing as an aural reflex.Stating that a report needs to be made if the fetus moves again at a noise gives the impression that something is wrong.
