Already got that one handed to me...
...by a redneck in real life. A redneck in real life knew this before this board. How does that make you feel? |

Supposedly after you get over a certain age, you can't hear the high end of the sound spectrum.
Whoopie. |

Yea but here are MP3s that you can download to your cellphone. Come on, in class ringtones! ____________________ I miss post headers more. |

If you don't let the last one finish before you start the next it seems like you can hear all but the last.
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. ____________________ "I'd like to confuse bok choy with cabbage." |

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. ____________________ [citation needed] |

Posted by BMF54123 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. |

I'm 27, and I can hear them, and I was in a metal band for a few years in my teens and always blast my headphones when I listen to music on my PC (Which is basically all the time).
Then again, I can hear power lines and monitors/TVs even if there's no signal input too. ____________________ Arc-Nova.org: More Chiptunes Than Your Mother Can Handle |

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? |

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. ____________________ |

Isn't there a test of some sort where you can actually test how high or low your frequency pickup is? I've messed with one in real life but I didn't know if such a simulator existed on the net. |

How can you tell if it's your ears that can't hear the sound or your crap laptop speakers that can't accurately reproduce the sound. I'll give it another try when I get good speakers set up in my dorm room. |
