Hearing is pretty limited for most reptiles, however, I have heard multiple times that iguanas have pretty good hearing.

So yes, they can hear to some extent.

To hear low end frequencies sounds(500 hz and lower) you don't really need to hear it. You feel it more than anything. I knew a def kid who would ride around on his bike with headphones on. Only because he felt the bass of the music. Play a song with mainly mid range frequencies (Vocal, guitar), no bass and see if you notice a difference. Then play something bass loaded.

When she ignores your music, it's because she wishes you would play her some country like her mother likes

I just grabbed Gizmo and whispered sweet nothings into his ear and he smiled.

Most lizards can hear, they have ear canals and tympanic membranes.
