Mosquito ringtones emit high-frequency tones that are inaudible by adults but can be heard by teenagers. It is very normal for people to lose their hearing as they age. The loss of hearing is gradual in most people, while other may experience more severe hearing loss.
The high-frequency tones (or mosquito ringtones) are those above 17kHz. Most people over the age of 30 will not be able to hear them. Below are file downloads in MP3, WAV for windows based phones, OGG (Ogg Vorbis audio format), and M4R (iPhone file format).

It would be better if I knew what my actual baseline was or what I could hear when I was under twenty but I’m over sixty and could hear the 12 which is supposedly 50 and under. And I went to concerts from 1971 Humble Pie to…well I actually cant remember what the last one was.
I use this page with my health classes (H.S. Sophomores). We’ve found that students who use earbuds quite a bit generally can’t hear above 18khz and some considerable below that. Those that don’t listen to loud music at all are generally able to hear the 22khz.
I’m 20 years old and i can hear all except 22 kHz. But 21 kHz almost inaudible.
17 and i can hear up to 16 kHz in VERY poor listening conditions. (Chatter, OK speakers etc.)
Uuuuuum i’m 13 and I cant hear any lower than 18 kHz
22 kHz and up I hear voices talking non-stop 🙂
I’m 20 and I can’t hear anything (AudioEngine A5 + M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 + Foobar2000 (with asio)). Something wrong…
I’m 53 and can hear the 21 kHz and can hear the 22 kHz just faintly. I have always cranked up my music, love it loud, so I’m guessing if I took better care of my hearing I’d have even better hearing today. Not too bad for an old fart.
I’m 19 and I can hear clearly only upto 17khz 🙁
meh. my dogs didn’t even react to the over 12khz makes me wonder if it is my sound card and not the frequencies…the dogs are young herders and react to everything. this is bee ess.
When I do this in my office my dog at higher frequencies starts looking aound searching for vermin.
I’m 14 and I can hear from 21khz with makes me sad as I don’t have my music too loud when I’m using earphones/headphones but oh well.
I remember having a dream, I could hear all the way to 22kHz. But at 14kHz, it wouldn’t go any higher. It sounded like a half-jolly, half-scary chord. At 18kHz, though, the noise got sharper, At 22kHz I looked upwards. Something fell on my head.
Anyway, if I had good audio programs, I would try to replicate the sound I heard in my dream.
10 years old and have a max of 19khz. Got any ones higher than 22khz?
the best human hearing range is 20Hz to 20kHz so no one should be able to hear above 20kHz
Additionally, this is usually the range of good quality headphones, so what some people are hearing at the higher frequencies is NOT that frequency!!!!!!
Despite that, I can hear up to 21 (off of my lap top without headphones)and I am 40 years old. It is a bit hard to hear, but it is there. I can also hear my camera’s battery charger and my television whining when it is plugged in (when not watching TV it is unplugged because the sound of it is so annoying).
I can’t hear 22 at all, though.
I’m 32 and played the tones i couldn’t hear full blast on the stereo until my stomach started turning and my equilibrium wobbled a bit. Now investigating Natural highs through sound. The experimentation has begun.
Hi, I’m using a soundblaster Audigy 2Zs card/AKG K121 studio (headphones)somewhat quiet environment (pc tower)”For this test”/ I recently made mistake of crouching down in front of my MARSHALL 50/50 stereo head w/2 4×12 cabs pointed right at me-4ft away and was configuring a new station when I hit the wrong pedal and “BANG” instant feedback !!!
1.2 seconds and that was it. Ringing ever since in right ear but deminishing slowly over days. I feel like I’m holding finger in my ear. “MY TEST RESULTS” I can hear in both ears(slightly less in right) up to 12khz then right ear is gone @12. Left ear still hears up to 14khz (I’ve always warned others of this mistake & just did it myself)
I’m 51yrs old, been playing since 11yrs old 🙁
From Website’s flash player 18Khz above is not audible for me.
But after downloading wav and playing it through Audacious [my media player] up to 21 KHz is audiable..
22 KHz is not audiable and is not showing any bars [frequency bars that goes up and down and has peak] in my player..
i checked its audio spectrum with Spek Spectrum Analyser and it does showed peak at 22KHz
Then I used audacity to generate 22KHz at 44kHz sample rate.. still not audiable..
But when I again tried to generate 22KHz, this time at 96kHz sample rate,
voila.. i CAN hear it.. I tried 23KHz and i can hear that too.. 24KHz is where it became inaudiable..
I guess Gstreamer [codec thats responsible to create sound in linux system] doesnt output 22KHz at 44kHz sample rate to prevent possible aliasing..
Well.. You are the engineer.. any explanation/info regarding this…
By the way, my headphone is Pansonic RP-DJS200 [frequency response: 12Hz-25kHz, Sensitiviy 105dB/mW, Power Handling capacity 1000mW, 24ohm]*
PS: i dont actually understand the “Power Handling capacity” does it mean more loud or better quality??
i guess that power handling capacity is how much volts your headphone can handle before damage….
btw, i can hardly hear anything above 12kHz…to bad because i’m just 33…i’m using line6 asio soundcard and a cheap audio technica monitoring headphone…
I’m 30 and I can hear them all. 17 kHz is painful, 18-21 kHz is audible and headache inducing, and 22 kHz is faint.
I am 31 and able to hear up to 22 Khz with earphones.
I’m 16 and i couldnt hear the last one! OH NOOO!
At “War level volume boost” recarding my sound card and Logitec 5500blabla (4 speakers, 2x stereo setting) i have to agree with poster TANK.
RobW, NL, Eur.
Sorry, i am an 47 years old skin. 😉 Poster Tank meant that he heard 22 Khz better than levels under it. So do i.
Sadly, I can only hear the first listed tone. I used to have super-duper hearing as a kid but then I joined the military whereby weapons from .22cal to 105mm tank rounds [took] most of it.
I’m 23 and I can hear them all…but oddly enough I can hear 22kHz better then 19kHz!
lol.
I’m 17 and I cannot spot a single tone from 12kHz.
How are you supposed to hear them because i hear a very faint sound starting at 20k but it doesn’t become realy audible until 15k. i’m 24 and im worried about my hearing now.
I came to this site as I’ve been really worried that I couldn’t hear much “top” for a while. I’ve used earbud headphones and before that full headphones but my wife’s always warned me I was doing my ears serious damage. So as a 50 year old I’m relieved I can hear up to 16Khz but disappointed all the same that I’ve lost some of the high frequencies. It has taken the “fizz” and excitement out of music for me.
I’m thirteen and I can’t hear a thing above 12 Khz, used without headphones and with headphones, I can’t hear a thing. So worried now….
Did you try turning the volume up? That helps too 🙂
I’m 9. I can hear all of them there not to hard to hear. I could probably go to 30 kHz!
Good for you! I love it!
I’m 56 and went to the audiologist a few weeks back. I have significant loss above 10000.
‘Know I shoulda stayed out of those discos, what seems like a hundred years ago!
Its biologicly impossible to hear above 25k and I’m pretty sure it sstops be fore that so
I can hear all of them. For some reason I hear 22 kHz better than the rest. And I am only 16!!!!
I can hear all of them. For some reason I hear 22 kHz better than the rest. And I am only 16.
I always thought n knew my ears were good ….i’m sixty ….can hear them all …..tho we got something on the youtube – that cut out for me but my dorter could still hear ……
I can hear them all execpt 19. WTH?
12 Years, and i can hear all tones~!
I am 13 and i can hear up to 19 then im blank im not trying to be mean but wow people you dont need to lie i know some of you are
I’m not even 18 yet and I can’t hear past 16kHz. I really need to get ear protection for drumline and band!
At first that happened to me too and I got really worried that I’ll start going deaf in the future if I don’t do something about it because I also play drums. But then I plugged in my earphones into the computer and then I could finally hear it. So I’m thinking it’s probably the speakers.
I’m 37 and I may not have the skin of a 24 year old anymore, but I got the ears of one. 😛
27 years old, I can hear them all. Just got back from the audiologist, and he confirmed I am hearing above 20khZ and I have the chart to prove it! 😉 (I found this site because he was so blown away by my high frequency hearing, he said he’d never seen anyone over 18 who could hear as high a frequency as me! Cool! Glad I found this site, keeps boosting my confidence!) 21 khZ and 22khZ are very quiet; maybe it’s the speakers?
yikes!!!! im not sure why but 8 and 10khz are high pitched but quiet and when i get to 12 khz its realllly loud
I am 65 and can hear them all up to 20khz, but the volume drops after 14 khz, and really drops from 19 to 21khz, and I can’t hear the 22khz at all. I have a sound blaster sound card that goes to 44khz, and Boston Acoustics that extend to 20khz
I CANT HEAR A SINGLE THING AND IM 84! HAHAHA lol lmao omfg im rly 84!
I am 59 and I can not hear anything either.
I’m 53 and can hear the 22 kHz one no problem as long as the volume is turned up. My Dad who is 78 can hear all the teen rings, so teens I wouldn’t count on adults not being able to hear it, even your granddad, lol.
