I did some unscientific testing and discovered I can't hear frequencies above 17 kHz. Maybe it's my equipment - but I was listening with MDR7506 headphones and running my sound card at 96 kHz so I doubt it. What's your cutoff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
1 MHz |
||||||||
|

I remember from that thing when I was going to be drafted to the army and shit and they did this hearing test... I could hear uo to 22, but I was missing some at around 17khz on the right ear... however, since then I've gotten tinnitus on the right ear as well, so I'm not too sure... |
||||||||
|

22 kHz is astounding - are you a bat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I am... noone really got to know the results other than "satisfactory," you are in the army, but the guy told me that I had a pretty good hearing except for the missing stuff around 17... they probably wanted my amazing hearing for their army, but I said fuck you, and took civil duty instead! hahaha! |

I had a weird thing when they did this at school where I stopped being able to hear the tone and then towards the higher frequencies I started hearing it again and could hear it better and better as it got higher. Very strange. I can't remember what it was though. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i don't know. is there some web page with sounds where you can test this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait... i went to see three ear doctors last year and this summer, i probably still have some curves/diagrams/things... i'll see if it's shown there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
giginger: same as me.. missing some in the middle and then continuing up... uzim: just search the web for tone generator, but you'll have to have stuff that can play it back... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can i check it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A little less than 19 khz, apparently. What do I win? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the capacity to hear frequencies up to 19 kHz. which is good i guess. PS: how was the concert last night? : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No wait, I can actually hear up to 19600 Hz. Excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure if i'm doing this correctly, but i can hear 22000hz, apparently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
22hz is asalow as i can hear 22hz at about 132dB btw :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
11hz with the volume all the way up. unless my computer is lying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, the lowest was just normal. 20hz or something like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lowest: 18-19 Hz Left ear: 19900 Hz Right ear: 19400-19500 Hz That difference is quite annoying, makes me feel like my right ear is fucked. And yes, I thought the Slint concert was really awesome, and I also saw Monade, Laetitia Sadier's side-project. And it was awesome. |
||||||||

I think you need to make sure you're not hearing aliasing or sympathetic vibrations. The fact that people say they stop hearing the tone then start hearing it again as it gets higher makes me suspect they're hearing aliasing or artifacting or something. |
||||||||
|

Hmm, i'm using the tool in audacity to generate sine waves, and it only goes up to 20000hz. Which is wrong anyway, because it sounds absolutely nothing like 20000hz from an oscilloscope. Which i know because i can't hear it. Which is sad. Moral: don't use Audacity. |
||||||||

|
|
don't use a computer to check your high freq sensitivity :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what should i do to test my hearing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's hard to really hear bass that low most people are "hearing" vibrations, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can listen up to 32khz boc's magic window have such a nice melodie, btw |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, vibrations, that's what sound is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too bad the sound spectrum in that track is empty. i've always been a fan of silence myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hearing down to 11hz? up to 32khz? hmm, i 100% doubt that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have steep curve around 17khz (15khz makes my head explode). i played drums years ago so it might have caused that. and of course i was in artillery while in army :) after 20khz my speakers start to make weird feedback (great sampling material) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
computers suck at this. there's loads of bullshit frequencies above 15kHz. i seriously doubt anybody really hears > 18k |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i don't know why people would be using computer speakers to test this (i didnt even realize people were doing it till just now >_< let alone to hear < 20 Hz; > 20khz babies, maybe, but not grown humans .... |
