My boss wants me to develop an app, using iPhone to recognize sound frequencies from 20-24 Hz that humans cannot hear. (iPhone frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz)
Is this possible? If yes, can anyone give me some advice? Where to start?

Before you start working on this you need to make sure that the iPhone hardware is physically capable of detecting such low frequencies. Most microphones have very poor sensitivity at low frequencies, and consumer analogue input stages typically have a high pass filter which attenuates frequencies below ~ 30 Hz. You need to try capturing some test sounds containing the signals of interest with an existing audio capture app on an iPhone and see whether the low frequency components get recorded. If not then your app is a non-starter.
