What frequencies can you hear *TEST*

[TStar]

How much can YOU hear ?

I've made some clean wave files with tones from 13.0 khz up to 17.0 khz. The older you are, the less you will be able to hear :shifty:

13000 Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/13000.wav)
13500Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/13500.wav)
14000Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/14000.wav)
14500Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/14500.wav)
15000Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/15000.wav)
15500Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/15500.wav)
16000Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/16000.wav)
16500Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/16500.wav)
17000Hertz (http://www.protege323.com/private/17000.wav)

me: 15.5, after that i'm deaf :ß
age: 32

UPDATE
-------
10-22khz RAISE (http://www.protege323.com/private/10-22khz.wav)
12 seconds long, every 1 second the frequency is raised by 1khz ...

procedure: play the file and as soon as you cant hear anything, press the PAUSE button to see how much time has passed since the start...

ill do this when i get home... :D

[dru]

lol, awesome...heard all of them! :D

Although, I am sorta young ;) (21)

[chicaboo]

ME: 17,000 (high pitch whistle to me, as that good?)
AGE: 31

[DavoAust]

Yeah i can hear them all loud and clear. I'm 18 :)

[Rupewrecht]

What, couldn't go any higher?

I can hear them all. Age 30

[bourbon]

they hurt my ears :(
Misses bourbs

it would have been good to have them for all the way to 20kHz (highest frequency people can normally hear) or higher ... speakers don't normally go much higher than 22kHz ... I can hear all the way through to and including 17kHz at 35 years old ...

[chicaboo]

This test is much better: http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html
Let me know when you encounter the brown note! :p

little update in the first post.

UPDATE
-------
10-22khz RAISE (http://www.protege323.com/private/10-22khz.wav)
12 seconds long, every 1 second the frequency is raised by 1khz ...

procedure: play the file and as soon as you cant hear anything, press the PAUSE button to see how much time has passed since the start...I hear that one right through to the end, but it sounds like it goes up and down in waves, quite strange. I guess that means I hear certain frequencies better, but I hear them all...?

[TStar]

mhm no, you can do a spectrum analysis, it's a straight raise from 10-22khz, no waving around ^^

[chicaboo]

I don't hear a steady linear rise in pitch, just waves in volume, note, etc... But I hear the whole lot (and it's annoying). :)

[zappy65]

i can hear them all (20 years old) ...we should ask skitz he plays his music so loud he might just here 10,000hertz...hahahaha

[DavoAust]

argh that continuous one hurts the ears. it does have waves to it though.

[Ripper323]

I'm 27 and can hear all them. It's like that ringtone that adults aren't supposed to be able to hear. Most "adults" I know can hear the bloody thing!

[Cincinnatus]

LOL, LMAO, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 29, can't hear sh!t.
Anything above 15.5 KHz and i'm deaf as a door knob, got a friend over laughing at me, says she can hear 'em all easy.
Maybe got something to do with that mortor shell that landed 3 yards from my head. That's a story.
Anyways, bet i win this one hands down. I'm the deafest MOFO on this forum.

[TStar]

not really, actually you're perfectly fine for your age...

did i mention that hearing a TONE does NOT mean that you sense some slight tinitus/pressure? that doesn't count ^^

[boostedbatman]

15500 for this old fart
Dammit I bet theres a nice surprise at the end and I would never know
*sobs uncontrollably like homer at a dead doughnut*

[RedLineResident]

Heard all of them. Stupid ol me had the speakers turned up heaps thinking this would be heaps faint but it wasn't. Almost caused me a headache

[Abaddon]

Listened to the new sound. Guess I can hear up to 22khz no probs

[jordy]

I can hear all of them and I'm 18.

The strange sound at the end of the sweep seems to be part of the sound file. Using a tone generator I don't get it with my Audigy 4 soundcard. Although I do think I used to get a similar effect going beyond 22khz with useless onboard sound.

[newman]

i could only hear up to 15500 and im young....ish

[chicaboo]

i could only hear up to 15500 and im young....ishYou've got yeast growing in your ears from all the beer that you drink! :p

[newman]

that's one possible explination :P
