Hear 15 fine, 16 and 17 I can notice they start and stop but nothing inbetween. And now I have a right bad earache. Thanks.

I think they all have that sort of click/pop at the start and end of the sample.

It's a rubbish test? I can hear 22hz perfectly with my headphones on with the volume turned up.

16, im unable to differenciate between crackle and the noise on 17 but i think with perfect equipment it might JUST be hearable
Im 20, i bought earplugs a week ago after a visit to a lloyds no1 bar made my ears ring for 3 days

16 I can hear easily, 17 I can hear when I turn the volume up. I'm 29 so quite pleased with that. I hardly ever where headphones though and don't go to loud concerts.

i had it quite high on my headphones.

If I do that I can hear 21khz. I hear something for 22khz but I'm not sure if that's just background noise from a poor quality recording. I'm 24.

Everything above 18 I couldnt hear in the conventional sense but hurt my head and I could "feel" the noise (as in it was still registering as another sound but not quite audible)

i noticed that too was quite unpleasant tbh

It's audio encoded in Flash so the quality isn't great and should theoretically top out at 22KHz.

greywolf · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:23

17Khz is fine, 18 I don't think I can even hear. Im 22.

TheCenturion · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:24

What?

Macky · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:24

18 with headphones in.

Morba · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:24

17. I'm 32, on crappy laptop speakers

Aedus · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:24

I can just barely hear 19 kHz

tasslehoff · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:26

could'nt hear 14 thru headphones...turned speakers up..could hear it.....kept speakers up at 15...no sound at all...except 19 year old daughter across the room wailing at me to turn the speakers down as the sound was giving her a headache..anyway....continued the test backwards..no response till I hit 16..got "noooo...giving me a headache".....& here's me sitting in silence..think I want to go & end it all now. Oh....I'm 45. (shhhh)

I_M_Weasel · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:28

34 and can hear 17khz, quite happy with that

redshadows · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:30

Nothing after 14

Cybermyk · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:30

I can hear up to 16, I'm 21 with 28 years of experience.

lbratch · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:31

I can hear them all perfectly clearly. I almost feel like they just aren't playing correctly, as I expected to struggle. I'm 23. Do I just have good hearing?

No you're probably just a nosey neighbour who spends too much time eavesdropping over the garden fence

Prophet · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:34

With my speakers on standard volume (tv watching) I can hear 16 but nothing above. If I turn my speakers up I can hear everything.

The test isn't very controlled really.

TheCenturion · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:34

I can hear them all except 22
