I posted this up in the headphone thread, but I'm sure not too many people look at that one, but thought you might be interested in this test.

http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/...-hearing-test/

Using my iMac I can't hear 15. Using my Sennheiser headphones I can hear 17 VERY faintly. And 15 and 16 no problem.

I'm 35 and work in a loud environment. When I first didn't hear 15, I became sad.

I grew up with loud car stereos as a teenager, then got into home audio before I was 20. Probably listening to the stereo and headphones too loudly, and the loud work environment... getting old stinks.

on my laptop, I can hear 17 no problem, and 18 very faintly.
I work in a loud envioroment also (woodshop saws and all sorts of other machines running)
i'm 23 :s

JohnRobHolmes · 03-12-2011, 10:02 AM

I can hear up to 18, but I think my computer speakers may be limiting anything above that. I will need to try again with my nicer headphones.

fred0000 · 03-12-2011, 10:16 AM

slapped some half decent sony headphones on...

I can hear them all

Last daily driver was a clean 3k rms to an 18" Solo X and I'm hearing 18 on my iPhone.

I honestly think my hearing got more sensitive from bass. I can hear a tube tv on before I even ring a door bell. I lost more hearing when there's normal talking going on.

Duuuuuuuude · 03-12-2011, 10:57 AM

8-14 is fine, 15 is faint, can't hear 16 at all, and 17-22 is faint.

JeremyH · 03-12-2011, 11:40 AM

All the way up to 18 with some old crappy speakers on this computer...

microgoat · 03-12-2011, 12:28 PM

I can hear 14 just fine. 15 and up is gone.

I hear a 5k tone all the damn time.

twisted · 03-12-2011, 12:32 PM

i can just hear 16. i thought it was gonna be worst as i ruptured my right ear drum when i was a kid and if anything is to loud i get a static noise in my ear.

djjiz · 03-12-2011, 12:57 PM

Anybody have trouble with your eyes watering to certain noises?

dezrik · 03-12-2011, 01:01 PM

I get that, but I've always called it a rattling sound. It happens when I try to talk over loud volumes.

Drail · 03-12-2011, 01:44 PM

RANOVRU · 03-12-2011, 04:53 PM

I can hear them all on my laptop but after 16 they fade to "dots" more than the intended sound. Im sure with my phones from the studio I could hear them all.
