Think your hearing is good?

Interactive Test

Very easy at FIRST, then it starts getting more difficult to perceive the distortion. Those with better audio boards, speakers/earphones, etc. and ability to listen should have no problem getting into the -30's.

The source is distorted (mp3?) but this tests one ability to hear the difference too. Fun nonetheless! 🙂

 

[Cattlegod]

cool, but the site is slow

 

[James3shin]

getting past 30 is hard...😛

sound spec:

Sennheiser HD-580 (unamped)
NForce4 onboard

 

[Ornery]

1. 20 year old Radio Shack "Realistic" Cat # 40-1312 powered speakers at low volume.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I guessed right up to -30dB on my laptop speakers.. pwnt!

 

[randomlinh]

my hearing sucks. heh

 

[mercanucaribe]

I don't get it.. On the 12dB one, both were distorted....

 

[mercanucaribe]

-12dB is my limit, where most people are.... Using very crappy computer speakers because I left my Swan M200s at home.

 

[Bozono]

I got to 42. Missed the last one though🙁

edit.I kept going after the first fail and wound up averaging -45db with 799 others 🙂

edit. with a SB Live hooked up to a Sony mini hi-fi.

 

[Lonyo]

Would be nice, except it keeps not showing the sample buttons for me, in IE and FF 🙁

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Made it to -42db with my Logitech Z-5500 and X-Fi, missed the -45db.

 

[imported_Reck]

i got to -45db using sb live 5.1 and sennheiser hd497s

 

[kravmaga]

I don't think my hearing is that good but I made it to -45 (got all three correct at the end) using axiom m3ti's and a panasonic xr-55 hooked up to my pc.

 

[shilala]

-18db!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trikat]

Haha i used some really crappy 2.1 speakers. After level 4 or 5 I had to start guessing.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I got to -30db, could have probably done better with a good set of IEM's 🙂

 

[Godsend1]

Marked.

 

[Leper Messiah]

got to -18 db with some cheap headphones and my nForce 4 AC 97 sound.

 

[Ricemarine]

Sennheiser PC150's really don't get me far 🙁 -21 dba.

Pop:-21 dba
Octave: -36 dba.

 

[SketchMaster]

I can get upto -30 on most tests but after that it's too hard. The sound from my cooling fans mess with the test I'm thinking.


Klipsch Pro media 5.1

 

[wfbberzerker]

screwed up on -30.

logitech z-640's
nforce2 onboard

 

[chuckywang]

Using laptop with Sennheiser 201's, I got to -18 before I got one wrong. But my onboard sound SUCKS THE BIG ONE, so I'm not too worried. I dunno though, -24 was really hard to distinguish.

 

[sash1]

-30dB with sh!tty laptop speakers, bleh. Coulda done better with my Sennheisers

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 and a cheapo Aureal board and I have bad ears, -24dB. As a side note, the source material didn't seem to be very high quality, to me anyway

 

[destrekor]

headphones and alc850 onboard (dfi karajan module) does not mix well to give high-quality listening lmao
