how many of these "ringtones" can you hear?

[apac]

Someone showed me this site and I was surprised to find that anything >18khz was silent, even with the volume on my Sennheisers maxed. I'm 22.

i could hear 17khz, but not 17.4

i'm 29, btw

 

[Saint Nick]

I can hear 19KHz and below. I'm 21.

The short version, A tone outside the audible range of hearing for most people over the age of 30. This means that you can get phone calls and receive text messages in class or school without teachers hearing it.

I have something like this on my phone. It's called vibrate!

Would it hurt your ears to turn the headphone volume up all the way and listen to the 22KHz one for a little while?

18k is my top. 19,20,21,22 all have harmonics i can here, but i can not hear the root freq.

I can hear all of em, but the last one sounds a little messed up. My speakers probably cannot output that high.
I'm 20

23 topped up @ 18 and I have hearing problems heh (holes in eardrums when I was little that were mended)

I could only hear up to 16khz. I'm 20. I'm wondering if my Logitech 5500s can not reproduce frequencies higher than that? I could hear background hiss and a little audio 'clip' at the beginning and end... hmmm
my ears might just suck. My ears can get really blocked by buildup, although got them cleaned half a year ago. And maybe I'm just deaf to those frequencies? Not sure... still want to blame the hardware before I blame my ears.

I'm 19, and I can hear up to 19khz.

 

[funkymatt]

heard them all, and if someone near me had one of them as their ringtone i would probably throw their phone out the window. just put the thing on vibrate!

I couldn't hear 16, 17, or 17.4, but was surprised to be able to hear 18, 19, and 20.

I'm 38.

 

[DrPizza]

bwahahaha! I've got a substitute teacher tomorrow. I'll put a high frequency on, and have it set to play at random intervals during the day!

 

[Kirby]
