Augh, I hate those "mosquito" ringtone things, they hurt my ears. But apparently at 26 years of age, I should not hear them at all!

Another adult could hear them too, so posted The Mosquito Ringtone: This Adult Can Hear it.

I'm curious - what pitch can you hear, and how old are you?

I am 26 years old, and the highest one I can hear is the 16961 Hz pure sine wave.

I can hear it quite well.

And the guy in the article is near middle age, and was able to hear it too.



I can hear the last one, but it's really really faint for me.

I am also wondering though if the reason I cannot hear the last one is:

* I am quite blocked up in my ears / nose right now
* My speakers may not be able to produce that frequency

So I shall try later too on better speakers and antihistamines.

Is it just me or does those last two not emit any sound?

The first one is plain torture, though.

If it's too high-pitched for your ears (everyone is different on the exact range they can hear), you won't hear anything.

Yeah, but I usually hear high-pitched sounds quite well.

Last view: 6139 days 		Well, the point of this test is to see how high are the pitches you can't hear. So there are probably a few in there that are even too high for you.

There is -- as I stated -- the possibility that your speakers may not reproduce those frequencies either.

Use the best quality speakers you have access to. If this means headphones, use those.

Yeah, it was probably my speakers. I could hear the 17959 Hz one quite clearly in my headset.

Weirdly enough, it was easier to hear the 17595 one than the 16961 one.

I can't hear any of those, but then I'm partly deaf (always have been) ...

I tried this before, making high pitched sine waves in Goldwave ... the highest I was able to hear (played really loud) was around 12000-13000, but even 8000Hz needs to be pretty loud for me to hear it.

This is also how I can listen to my MP3's at 40-48kbps VBR (7500Hz highpass) without seeing much of a quality loss

From testing in Audacity, I found 18 KHz to be clearly audible to me. 19KHz a little quiet, and 19.5KHz appeared to be about the limit of what I can perceive. 20KHz=inaudible. Then, of course, this might already be touching the limit of what my headphones can accurately reproduce.

With MP3s, I stop hearing a difference from the original around 224kbps; while I didn't try out any of the intermediate sample rates, 44100<->196000 does make quite a difference to me.

I can't hear the last one. I can hear the second to last one very faintly. The ringtone itself has to be one of the MOST ANNOYING SOUNDS EVER.

*Waits for someone to post a more annoying sound

That last one (almost 18 kHz) is about the EXACT same pitch as that annoying sound in my ears that never goes away.
And yeah, I can hear them all just fine. I have good hearing. XD Age 20

I can hear all of them, and the last one faintly (might be my speakers). I have excellent hearing, and I'm 18.

So yeah, I'm never doing that again.

My monitor used to make a wierd sound sometimes, until I switched the hertz rate.

...I wonder if it's still making the sound, just at a frequency I can't hear it at.
