test your hearing

this could frighten a few people.. dont turn it up too loud. also best done on speakers rather than headphones.

i could hear up to 17.7khz anything after that was inaudible.

also dont pay attention to the click when you play each one.. its the tone you need to listen for.

[Patrick DSP]

got to 19.9khz but it was painful/annoying to listen to, but not as annoying as 17.7 and 18.8khz

[Patrick DSP]

anyone else take this test???

[Antinoise]

17.7 for me..
but I wonder if its limited by my speakers here in the office.?
I'll have to use my monitors at home to see if it makes a diff

[dan the acid man]

bloody hell, i've surprised myself, i got 21.1khz, can't hear the highest though

[stjohn]

16.7... uh oh!

[stjohn]

just been making a tune pretty loud tho..

[Heroes]

21.1

[stjohn]

shit...i must over doin it... id say that festival at the weekend didnt help. but it could be coz my computer humming away right beside me too
:eh: :eh:

:eh: :eh:

no, unless your pc is really loud and the same frequencies, which i doubt

[stjohn]

well it has been humming loudly for the past couple of weeks...i think my hard disk is up to someting, probably coz its full...
but ye.. i have to keep it down.

[Lujo]

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

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz

i could hear 21.1 but not 18.8..

tbh ? i dont really trust this, but i am hyper cynical these days.

[The Overfiend]

18.8

[Patrick DSP]

turned up my speakers a little and got the 21.1Khz woo hoo.

[rhythmtech]

unfortunatly It's flawed.

If you turn it up on 22.1 you get some kind of lower frequency overtones which sound like aliasing or something.

[bassbin]

18.8

[force]

17.7 khz for me.

[Roxy Trip]

oh no i could only hear up 16.7. and that whent right through me... im only 19, does that mean ive got really shit hearing or what? :(

[dan the acid man]

oh no i could only hear up 16.7. and that whent right through me... im only 19, does that mean ive got really shit hearing or what? :(

it depends how high a frequency your speakers go upto, are they hi-fi speakers ? pc speakers ? monitors ?

pc speakers with a subwoofer thingy on 'em??!
thats worried me now though, maybe i have got shit hearing :paranoid:

[Roxy Trip]

narr it must be the speakers cos i can hear 16.7 pretty clear, dont have to strain my ears to hear that one

[dan the acid man]

yeah, it will be your speakers, they probably don't go high enough, the pc speakers here at work are the same

[Patrick DSP]

this got me to wanting to test out my speakers and hearing...
so i came up with my own test.

it goes for 4Hz to 24kHz and it's a wave file, not mp3.

www.patrickdsp.com/audio/4Hz-24kHz.wav

it's not a steady stream, i kicked up a few notches where normal hearing lays. other wise this wave file would be way too long to share.

cheers

[Athar]

21.1 and im a mosquito

lol

[holotropik]

I have just gotten over a cold/flu and it left my ears a bit ringy so I will try theis test when they stop.
At least I hope it was the flu that made them ringing..??

[jeroenliebregts]

the test is wrong. only babies are supposed to hear anything above 19 kHZ. I didnt come any further that 14kHZ last time i did a real test...and now i can hear 21.1...

Also these are mp3's...the compression from WAV to mp3 probably causes a so called mirror frequency, which is a lot lower than the actual tone. That's the thing we are all hearing!

yeah yeah, wiseguy ;-)

Hee Hee. should you be off doing a remix or something?

[jeroenliebregts]

finished it ...haha!

are you sure about 14 khz?

Do you know what frequency is where in the track? I stopped hearing it at around 46 seconds.

[Antinoise]

I hear it clear until it sharply disappears for me at about 49.5 seconds on Patrick's test. Once again though.. I'm at the office. I wonder if the effect will chage on my Genelec's @ the studio.

Not quite true.

Upper threshold is between 16khz-22khz for adults.

I've got a big fat dip in my mid/high frequencies.
I blame the soundsystem in "The End"
Now I can't hear conversations when it gets crowded. Started lip reading again...

[jeroenliebregts]

14-15 khz yeah... But that's in a real test, with no control over the volume...
If you can put it up as loud as you want you start noticing the tone at a certain point, but not really hearing it..

[Picanzo]

uhmmm... I think Im a dooog :)
