PostSubject: How high can you hear?   Thu Aug 06, 2009 9:30 pm

I've always read that the average human can hear up to 20k hertz. So when I choose a radio or speakers I always look at that, but what I found from this test, is that I can't hear above 15k hz. And I know my speakers were playing it, cause my 8-year old daughter could hear up to 20khz, but I couldnt.

Try it out, post your range.

Interesting.

I can hear up to and including the 18 kHz range.

In my early 20's I could hear 19.2 KHz, but I haven't checked it since.

One of the latest tricks that teens are using, though, is a ringtone for their cellphones that they can hear, but their parents and teachers cannot... I guess we should be happy that they're putting some of their science studies to use. confused

(I also doubt that my monitor speakers have enough response to administer the test properly...)

i can hear the 17khz just fine, but nothing above, maybe it's my ears, or maybe it's my speakers that cant play it dunno

If I put my ear right next to the speaker, I can hear up to 20khz, but it's much quieter than the lower ones.

I don't want to know - too much hearing damage from shooting guns without hearing protection as a child.

According to that site i can hear 22 kHz...but during a physics lecture this year i seem to remember not being able to hear anything that high. Strange.

Hmm, I can't hear any above 12. Could be my cheap speakers, partly. But I also had a lot of loud noise exposure growing up. In a bar or restaurant, I have a hard time hearing table conversations in a noisy place.

...but is it the sound that wakes you up or something else?

its a conglomeration of senses. only happens at night when all is quiet..and these senses end up being funneled into my auditory canal by metaphysical means im sure...
