What is the "typical" or "standard" frequency range of...

1. Sub Frequencies...?
2. Mud Frequencies...?
3. Vocal Frequencies...?

...in these genres:

1. EDM/Dance/Electronica
2. Hip Hop/Rap
3. R&B/Pop

Do frequency ranges of most sounds/instruments/music stay "stable" or "rigid" regardless of which genre I am working in and therefore can be applied to all 'types' of sounds/music...???

In other words...Is the frequency range of...say a 'vocal'...the "same" in a HIPHOP/TRAP song, a R&B song and also in a ROCK song...???

Thanks.
 
those things do not change because of genre - the range used may but the full range available does not

sub freqs are meant to be fully labeled sub-bass freqs, so these usually run from 24.5 (G below the lowest note on the piano) to 65Hz, though of course if the sound has any harmonics (anything other than a sine wave will) then you need to consider the air in the sound as well (which means at least tripling the top number and possible multiplying it by 8 or more). I have set the top number to the lowest note that a cello can play - a double bass can play one octave lower which means it goes down to 32.5Hz. However, modern usage puts bass as low as that cello note only.

most people put the so-called mud freqs between 200 and 500Hz

as for vocalists: which type of voice

Bass ~ 80-320 Hz (a Russian bass can go down to 65Hz)
Baritone ~ 98-392 Hz
Tenor ~ 130-520 Hz
Counter Tenor ~ 196-698 Hz
Contralto ~ 174-698 Hz
Alto ~ 196-784 Hz
Mezzo soprano ~ 220- 880 Hz
Soprano ~ 261-1046 Hz

again, as with the bass instruments there are several more octaves above the top note that harmonics can be heard within so at least quadruple the top note to add/keep the air in the vocal
 
Why don't you look for it yourself?
Get a frequency analyst (voxengo span is pretty good and it's free) and apply it to an rnb track, an edm track etc. By listening and watching the spectrum you should be able to see which frequencies peak when the vocal/bass whatever enters
