The test isn't very controlled really.

You think? :rolleyes:

You just demonstrated your sensitivity dropped off at around 16KHz.

I can hear 17KHz clearly but 18KHz is very very faint, I have to relax and focus to just barely make it out. Beyond that is nothing though.

Age: 27
Headphones.

can hear all the way up to 22 if I turn the volume up loud enough. On my normal volume levels 15KHz is my limit though.

25
In-Ear headphones.

At the moderate volume yes, however what does that really prove as there's no reference.

It's like taking an eye test where everyone is sitting different distances from the chart.

Just noticed my speakers are only rated up to 18k (x-140's) so even if I could hear them I probably wouldn't be able to.

16KHz, aged 28.

Might try with headphones another time.

EDIT: 21KHz if I beef the volume with in ear headphones. At 22KHz I don't get anything.

Hmm something can't be right, listening through headphones I can easily hear them all.

tasslehoff · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:46

Through my laptop speakers I can hear 20Khz, my headphones must be doing something as the sound is completely different.

Anyone got any dogs in the room going mental at the high pitched noises?

jlss · 27 Oct 2010 at 01:12

bobbydigital · 27 Oct 2010 at 01:19

I can hear them all, 21 and 22 are very faint anything below 19 irritates the hell out of my ears.
