Verybigboy18 · #1 2008-10-03, 16:59

Test yourself. http://audiocheck.net/audiotests_frequencycheckhigh.php
I can hear the tone at 19k.

scovegner · #2 2008-10-03, 17:26

Between 19 and 20 ..

negz · #3 2008-10-03, 18:48

Dragonflame · #4 2008-10-03, 18:59

My speakers wouldn't play above 18. My speakers are better than yours ;P

KING G · #6 2008-10-03, 19:56

Between 17 and 18.

HARDMAN · #7 2008-10-03, 19:59

Between 22 and 21

But I think your speakers and the acoustics of the room affect it as well.

AM33N · #8 2008-10-04, 00:35

21 - 20
Lately I've been listing to music with the highest volume possible. Guess it's time to be more careful or I'll end up deaf :- P

1337_1053R · #9 2008-10-04, 00:36

I can barely hear it at 22.

My mother can't hear it until 16

Verybigboy18 · #10 2008-10-04, 04:01

Nobody is supposed to be able to hear it at 22. Are you hearing a whiney tone or a pulse kind of sound? The pulse sound is not the tone. And if you think your speakers can't play above 16, they probably can you just can't hear it. Read the little FAQ about the test.

Vega · #11 2008-10-04, 04:45

21khz

Really hate that noise

Mental Hygiene · #12 2008-10-04, 04:48

I can't hear it till 15k. Good thing I'll be alive for the medical care from the future, maybe they can get me some really good hearing aid that lets me hear beyond they original spectrum.

.
Edit: I'm 16 years old and been to 3 concerts...it must be the volume alteration I do on Itunes before I put the songs on my ipod. I alter the volume to be +100% the normal volume.

dark_rider_666 · #13 2008-10-04, 04:53

at first i couldn't hear ANYTHING, then i realized my speakers were turned off, so i turned them on and played it again, i could hear the thing the whole way through, i can even hear the pitch a television makes

MR.Kitty55 · #14 2008-10-04, 05:04

I couldnt hear until 13...different person same headphones (bose) got 18...

l33t_looser · #15 2008-10-04, 05:19

21 and 12

The_Kid_In_The_Corner · #16 2008-10-04, 08:02

Cant hear anything until 16. The sound is quite painful.

pwntbypancakes · #17 2008-10-04, 17:38

scovegner · #18 2008-10-04, 20:07

Should be a more accurate test ..

$tinger · #19 2008-10-04, 20:17

Didn't get me that time. I kept my speakers down because I knew what it was going to be a few seconds into it.

if.... · #20 2008-10-04, 21:13

that second test was not as reliable as you said

Weird.

Hardly weird.. its called hearing damage.

I heard it from just after he said 18kHz

I wouldnt say this is accurate in anyway though. Your results are going to vary a lot due to sound cards and speakers etc.

Oh and whats the frequency that some TVs make thats really annoying? I can hear it but hardly anyone else can.

ArgonPlasma2000 · #22 2008-10-05, 03:38

44.1kHz sampling frequecy is not adequate to represent a 22kHz signal. It is also not adequate to represent the signal considering speakers have a usable range of 20 to 16k, generally.

I can barely hear the 22k, but I can hear a flyback transformer (the sound a TV makes) operating at 30k.

Cuntbag · #23 2008-10-05, 05:54

I dunno.. I heard it all the way through so maybe it is not playing correctly.

High pitched at first.. got more annoying the lower it got.

rideawalrus · #24 2008-10-05, 06:03

I couldn't hear any of it, but I am deaf so...............

Well played, sir.

EDIT: 18-19k, and I can hear TVs too.

dark_rider_666 · #27 2008-10-05, 11:21

the pitch of a t.v really irritates me, no one else i know can hear it

rodrat16 · #28 2008-10-05, 13:45

21 and down

Name's Taken · #29 2008-10-05, 13:53

Mantikore · #30 2008-10-05, 14:09

17k.

though i have tinnitus (i always hear a ringing), so it makes for interesting results

I can hear it, but I don't know any girls that can. Just guys. Made a thread about it in SG once and no girls replied to that, just guys.

i poop in your cereal · #32 2008-10-05, 16:01

I you can't hear it all you have brain/ear damage.

CotDeath · #33 2008-10-05, 20:05

Heard all very clearly.
Not comfortable though.

CosmicZombie · #34 2008-10-05, 20:11

I know that most of you are lying I can hear 15

LiddleD · #35 2008-10-05, 20:51

That's because it gets louder as your ears become more sensitive.

And I've already pointed ut the sound a TV makes is between 20k and 30k.

BlackopsNinja · #39 2008-10-06, 21:02

Can anyone find a test for my dog? he was in the room while i was doing this and he seemed pretty interested.

ZeppelinRules · #40 2008-10-07, 07:32

Between 22 and 21

Dread_Lord · #41 2008-10-07, 17:37

Didn't hear anything until he hit 17k then all the way until he finished.
