Can you hear this?

[sharkeeper]

Hearing test:

Most young folks should hear this with no problem:

Tweeter Tester

A warning about this file:

It was recorded at -3dB below maximum! It is a pure unmodulated 15 kHz sinus tone. It is VERY LOUD and will damage loudspeakers if played too loud. If your MP3 player and/or sound card is not living up to expectations, it may also put out artifacts that could send pets into howling or other strange behaviour. If this happens, please have respect for the animals and don't use this for a tool of manipulmanum! (No matter how much you may dislike your neighbors!)

Cheers!

Damn that makes my head hurt.

 

[SSP]

Lol! cool. I had my sound all the way down then turned it up very slowly. Always wanted to test my tweeter...

 

[Rallispec]

<--- bleeding from the ears.

yes i could DEFINETLY hear that. Although i wish i had taken your volume warning more seriously because i'm not sure i can hear anything else right now.

 

[rival]

um, interesting, whats the point of it?

 

[Viperoni]

Dont forget that some ppls speakers or amps start rolling off that high......also dont MP3's start rolling off in that area as well?

Anyhoo's, thanks for the bleeding ears

BTW: Doesn't the IASCA SQ CD come with a tweeter test track?

 

[vi edit]

In college a guy on floor had an alarm clock that sounded just like that. I could hear that damn thing from the other end of the floor.

I wanted to beat him over the head with it.

The page doesn't load (at least for me.) Time for Enterprise!! I will try later.

 

[vi edit]

Oh, would it be mean of me to surprise a friend by putting this as his start up sound?

<< dont MP3's start rolling off in that area as well? >>



Crappy encoders do. Better ones are ruler flat to 20 or 22 kHz depending on the source and target.



<< Oh, would it be mean of me to surprise a friend by putting this as his start up sound? >>



Actually, I find this to be very effective for start up programs! It has a very high WTF factor!

Cheers!

 

[technogeeky]

Hmm.

That was loud and annoying. It made my ears feel thicker or something like that.

But why did I have some bass in that? I am detecting something really low, like 50Hz-ish?

Anyone? You'll need a big subwoofer, but It's definately there.

 

[technogeeky]

Oh, am I to assume that when my high end speakers cut off and 'pop' (very high pitched) - that's a bad thing?

They're back on as soon as it happens...

Hehe. I really need to get new high end - mid range stuff.

I have a Midiland S2/4100 (old) with a Klipsch KSW-12 sub.

 

[sharkeeper]

There is no other energy in there other than 15 kHz. If you're hearing a hum chances are you have the level up so high that you're overloading the power supply feeding your computer speaker system and some 60 Hz stuff is leaking through.

Cheers!

 

[LordMaul]

Bah, I have a speaker test that went from something like 20 to...errmm...something really, really low...

I found it on Morpheus. Take a look.

 

[Beowolf]

hmmmmm.....couldn't hear anything. but my dog jumped up. guess im going deaf. 24 yrs old, and gonna be deaf. im depressed.

 

[Danman]

God, that really hurt my ears.........

 

[nccr]

Wow, I thought I turned the volume on my promedias all the way down...guess not. I still heard a noticeable high pitched sound.
