But can you hear THIS?

[bluedogaudio]

Here is a list of tones that go from 8Hz all the way up to 22,000Hz. It

[AluminumNeck]

I can hear all the way upto 22khz according to the test. My issue being however that the 22khz tones don't sound correct. Like they are harmonics of 22khz and not a true 22khz. I noticed that with most of the tones above 16khz on the test. I think something is wrong with the test.

i can hear 19khz

Or maybe your speakers are having difficulty reproducing such high frequencies.

 

I can hear up to 20khz apparently. But now my ears are ringing

[Super_Donut_Man]

Hmmm.

 

My hearing cut off at 17hz, I could barely hear it. The constant ring in my ears is slightly lower than 8khz:facepalm:

 

21khz sounded the lowest, which is odd that I can actually hear that because I cannot hear 18k-20k and 22k. must be the speakers.

If you're saying that 21khz seemed to be a lower pitch than everything else, then it must be... Maybe you're hearing a couple octaves below (~5.25khz)?

What I figured.

[Bryan316]

Could hear 15K. Nothing more.

 

 

 

But my fillings could feel GRAY MATTER

Your fillings could feel your brain? You need a better dentist if that's the case.

I played one of those high tones and I couldn't hear it at all, but my son in the other room "DAD STOP IT!!!!!!"

[Mike Fiasco]

I can't hear above 16, but the dog across the street is going {censored}ing nuts.

My dad was taking a sound engineering course a couple years ago, and was listening to various frequencies (up to 16khz I believe) so he could recognize them to be able to eliminate feedback more efficiently. I guess he thought his headphones weren't good enough to reproduce 16khz, so he unplugged them in the middle of a tone, with the volume CRANKED, and it pretty much raped my ears.

You gotta make sure your speakers/headphones can produce said-tones.

 

You not hearing the 16KHz+ tones may not be a function of your bad ears.

Come to think of it, does anybody make a speaker that actually has a frequency response OVER 20khz? I don't think I've seen one listed higher than that before.

 

AluminumNeck, what brand & model are your speakers or headphones?

[GRANKOR]

all of them, I did pop my ears first though

[Flâneur]

Nothing above 14

 

but I'm a bit older than 25

I have Panasonic RP HT-850s Monitor headphones.

They hit 7Hz-28KHz @ 105 dB/Mw

 

And at like $29.. some of the best sounding ones I've ever owned (including Sennheisers). Definitely best bang-for-the-buck.

That's a pretty crazy range. Going way below and above the range of human hearing just to make sure you get everything, huh? Mine only do 40-20khz So who knows, maybe I can actually hear 21 or 22khz, but I doubt it.

[bnyswonger]

I question the accuracy of the test, certainly these crappy satellite speakers at work. I can hear stuff in all of them, but 16K is quieter for some reason. I'm pretty good up to about 20K.

[L. Ron Hoover]

My AKG K701s are spec'd for 10Hz-39.8kHz. I'm not sure that kind of HF extension is necessary.

 

I can't hear above 18kHz in that test, though I can sense something at 19 and 20kHz, I can't really hear it. That lines up reasonably with the hearing test I had done a couple of years ago at the NRC in Ottawa. According to that I start to lose response at about 19kHz, though I'm 5dB more sensitive than average through most of the audible range.

[Marc G]

I heard up to 18Khz.... I could hear when the 19Khz signal kicked in but not the tone itself....

[PaulyWally]

For some people that said they couldn't hear in the higher frequencies... is it possible it's due to the sound being played on poor equipment?

 

I can't hear some things on the laptop speakers. But I can sure as hell hear them through my studio monitors.

[Roguetitan]

I heard all of the clips:idk:

They be the Batphones.

[Decker]

Geeez....... Could somebody try the tones and tell me if they are all working? I couldn't hear ANYTHING above 10k!
