17.4..beyond that I just hear a 'click' (on). Could be laptop sound card or Sennheiser headset, though. Age 25.

I could hear up to 18Khz. I'm 20.

The higher ones that I could hear made my head hurt.

You may have lakanookie syndrome. Eyesight is usually the first to go, but sometimes hearing.

Just tried it at home, can hear up to 20. Hard to tell if my hearing is bad or if my speakers can't handle it. My cat did not really react to it so I'll go with the theory that it's my speakers.

Get a hearing test every 5 years for my job, so hopefully that's good enough

My hearing has gotten alot better with age. Songs and movies I have always appreciated seemed to have improved. I hear instruments I didnt hear before. Normally I keep the volume on my television to such a level you have to almost strain to hear it.

edit: 14000 Frequncy sounds like the beginning of a headache

I could hear the 8K clear as a bell, could kind of hear the 10K, and the 12K was more or less just a faint noise...not really heard, more felt. After that, they annoyed my cat, but I didn't hear a thing.

After 17 khz I can't really "Hear it", but I can detect an annoyance, almost like something just putting pressure on my eardrums. 19 btw.

You just won this thread. Kudos.

I'm playing with this in sound forge for kicks. I think their encoder breaks the last couple of em. They're basically just low volume noise, though it's hard to tell as I have to amplify it at a level that brings out the noise from just the sound card itself. (like a TV that's out of tune)

You can see the sine wave but as you start to zoom in more it's deformed saw wave.

I have too much spare time on my hands.

Using my headphones, I can only "hear" to 16khz. Using my B&W 804s speakers, I can hear all the way to 18.5 khz with ease and then the room noise takes shape and I can't hear the signal beyond the room noise.

B&W :thumbsup:
off to try it on the 802s

i guess if i cared enough, i should crank out my sound system to check how high i can hear.

(cant hear above 17.4 on my icemat siberia headset...broken, duct-taped and soldered together.)

16kHz. But the cheap built-in monitor speakers couldn't reproduce the 15kHz clip. Needed to use headphones to try this test.
