What is your maximum hearing range?

Go to http://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com/ and click on them little play buttons.

either I still have good ears Or I have the ears of a mosquito... :buzzzzt:

[timeshifter]

There's too much sensitive equipment in here for me to try... but last test I took, I could hear up through about 22Khz.. one of two people in the class that could.

[Atheist]

Isnt there like...a maximum frequency for headphones/speakers aswell? If so, then I blame my headphones for not being able to play 22kHz sounds

[si_the_geek]

Apparently I haven't damaged my ears as much as I thought: 21.1kHz!

You are a dog
Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human.

You're not a real F1 fan!

[timeshifter]

Oh snap!

How dare you!!

In 2005 I was about 10 feet away from the F1 cars (exit of Club corner at Silverstone) for about 3 hours over the weekend, without earplugs.. bearing in mind that you can hear these cars from literally miles away, that's not the best idea!

One of my friends (who was wearing ear plugs throughout) still had ringing in his ears nearly a week later.

How am I not deaf?

Obviously, the tires were squealing away at greater than 21 kHz.

My maximum hearing range is about 3 and a half feet.

Of course, this is with the wind and when I'm wearing my hearing aid.

[timeshifter]

4.2 miles at 136.43 DB

Wow that's really scientific that is.

I can hear all the way up to 19.9 on my laptop speakers but only to 15.8 on my cheap external speakers. Neither set is any good at decent music reproduction.

Nobody will get even vaguely accurate results from this.

This is a concern for what reason?

[wossname]

This is a concern for what reason?

There's no point doing surveys unless they are accurate. I'm frankly amazed that such a luminary as Mendhak brought this survey to our attention at all.

[kregg]

I actually managed to get up to 22.4 - I could hear the clicking at the beginning and at the end

[kregg]

I R Ninja.

[penagate]

This test is silly and frivolous. Using my headphones, I could hear all of them extremely well except the last one, which, surprise surprise, is blank.



Congratulations, Science H. Logic triumphs again!

[kregg]

Then that must mean.... MY HEARING IS SUPERSONIC!!!SHIFTONEONEONEONEONE1

[mendhak]

Looks like Atheist was right, I could hear 21.1kHz on my speakers at home.

Logically, I shouldn't be able to hear it, since I am over 20 years old.

Which leads to the question, are these audio clips playing at the frequency that they claim they are?

[dsheller]

No idea how high I can go -- frequency response of my headphones peaks around 20kHz.

[zaza]

If I turn the volume down low enough, I can't hear any of them.
