I can hear all of them perfect but the last one.

I guess if you had one of these as ringtone, you could tell your phone is ringing because any dogs around you will start going nuts.

Last view: 6087 days 		I don't get it...most cellphone speakers aren't nearly high-fidelity enough to accurately reproduce things like this. Toss in the fact that they're MP3s, which are inherently lossy and noisy (especially at the filesizes/bitrates used by cellphones)...it doesn't seem like it should work.

I remember taking the frequency test on some website, using MP3 clips, and there was more background noise than actual tone (the highest-frequency clip actually sounded LOWER than the next-lowest one). I don't trust any test unless it uses raw tones fed through a professional-quality DAC to professional-quality headphones in a silent room...there are simply too many variables in a home environment.

Got me, but they do. I've heard one personally.

Bass usually sucks ass on cellphones, not necessarily treble. Frequency response range is the secret.

Not supposedly. It's a fact.

As you get older, the higher frequencies drop out of your hearing range, making it harder to hear higher pitches.

And this is EXACTLY what deafness is. When people start to go deaf, this is due to the higher frequencies dropping off their ranges, so they cannot make out the higher pitch sounds in speech, making it hard to make out words and sounds.

I had to go through all of this in my Film Production course, of all places.

edit - oh, and the local co-op in my town has an alarm which is of a sufficient high pitch to piss off/get rid of troublesome kids, but adults cannot hear it.

Then again, I can hear power lines and monitors/TVs even if there's no signal input too.

Okay... This was posted here quite awhile ago. Failed.

Now, if this thread were about ridiculously loud siren- or car alarm-ringtones, things would be different. Particularly awesome.

Last view: 2905 days 		The only thing I don't understand about these ringtones is the only place you use this is while you are in school or in a place you generally don't use a cell phone out of respect. But if you hear it and no one else does, and you answer the call, would they know then that you had a call?

Last view: 3929 days 		I also can hear CRTs, even with no signal. I just got used to it though.
I think I may have screwed up my ears or something, because I listen to the TV all day, and I hear the high-pitched sound it generates, and I think my ears got 'used' to it. If I were at college, where I use a flatscreen TV, I'd probably hear these better.

The highest I can reliably hear is 17.7kHz. 18.8kHz, I can hear, but only if it's loud. I feel bad, because I don't want to lose my ultrasonic hearing, I like being able to hear the ultrasonic tones. I never do anything bad to my hearing, either, I *never* blast music in my ears.
