Male, 31, 19kHz. I did a similar test in 2005 (age 25), and the result then was 20kHz, and 21kHz I could feel or sense, but not hear. This could be an effect of interpolation, as at higher frequencies integrated sound cards from laptops and pc’s are less accurate, and interpolation noise may be heard instead of the actual frequencies! Interpolation noise can best be described as sympathetic frequencies.
Say for instance a D10 is about the limit of most people’s hearing, at ~18.800Hz,
Going to an E10 (which is about ~21.100 …

Our original frequency hearing test continues to receive great comments on a daily basis. After a certain number of comments, the post can get too large and cause the page to load slowly. To avoid this, new comments posted there will continue on this page….

I’m a 17 year old girl and I could hear up to 20kHz. I admit that I don’t always take the best care of my ears. I go to dances, rock concerts and raves, and I listen to my iPod too loudly.

A proper hearing test can help determine any hearing loss you may have by measuring your ability to differentiate and respond to a series of tones in a controlled sound environment. Take our new and still unscientific hearing test.

Matt here again. I took an mp3 listening test here a while ago. The shoot out was between an mp3 of 320kb/s vs. and mp3 of 128kb/s. A number of people commented that a test between a pure wav. file against a 320kb/s mp3 would be more useful.
