I'm a 25-year-old audio engineer and I've loved creating music since I was young. I used to produce music with headphones and studio monitors at volumes that were way too loud. for maybe 10 years straight. I've done a lot of live sound engineering for local bands where I didn't wear any hearing protection. I've gone to dozens of shows and concerts where I let my ear drums take the full force of dangerously high levels of noise. I did wood shop in high school and fell in love with it. Started doing some wood work projects of my own at home and allowed my ears to be exposed to all of the loud power tools. I later became a groundskeeper where I used leafblowers, weed whackers, and more... again, with no hearing protection. Now, I have permanent hearing damage in both ears. I have struggled with tinnitus, a constant ringing noise that doesn't go away. A ringing that is irreversible and only gets worse with more exposure to loudness. A ringing that gets so unbearably loud at night that it makes you consider doing anything to make it go away. It can lead to real depression, and I wish I took better care of my ears when I was younger. This video confirmed that I can only hear to about 15-16k. It's not horrible, but it's a huge issue for me as a producer and an audio engineer. If you're a teenager (or anyone, really) and you're reading this; PLEASE WEAR HEARING PROTECTION. I promise you it will be worth it.
It's not the 14kgz + frequencies that show damage. It's the ones between 3-8khz. An audiogram will show you if you truly have damage due to noise exposure. It will show a dip somewhere in that frequency range. Anything much above 14k doesn't really matter if you're producing. But 3-8k DOES
do u mean 16k? that's interesting i could hear the entire video but it's probably bc im wearing noise cancelling headphones with my audio maxed - my headphones said "battery low" at 15k and that scared the shit out of me omg
Eiserntors Phantom of the Opera mine was similar and I'm 50. Lots of loud concerts standing next to the speakers when I was young. Also had ruptured eardrums due to really bad infection when I was 5.
In case anyone is wondering about TH-cam's audio compression affecting the high frequencies, in this video there is actually a slight HF lift of about +1.5dB starting around 15kHz which peaks around 16.8kHz then a -2dB drop at around 18kHz which then fades by another -3dB to black by around 19.4kHz. So there is definitely a loss in signal near the very end, though not enough to affect the affect the results for almost all adult listeners - provided we are listening on equipment (D/A convertor, amp, headphones) capable of reproducing frequencies at or above 22.05kHz
It should be noted that I'm hearing a difference in this video depending on what sample rate I play back set from Windows ASIO. At 44.1kHz setting I'm hearing an accurate representation of my professionally tested hearing abilities. At 48kHz setting I'm hearing far beyond my tested ability. At 88.2kHz setting it's back to normal accurate reproduction. At 96kHz setting it's the same as when it was set to 48kHz. My guess is that the intermodulation distortion at 48/96kHz is causing audible subharmonics, since the audio in this video is natively at 44.1kHz - resulting in inaccurate results. Tl;dr: If you are clearly hearing an audible tone above around 16kHz up to nearly 20kHz then you are likely playing back at an incorrect sample rate. Try setting your computer's audio sample rate to 44.1kHz and test again. To find and change this setting on Windows it's in Settings > Sound > (Output) Device Properties > Additional device properties > Advanced.
I took this test as someone who is profoundly deaf but wears hearing aids. My limits are 150Hz lower and 1,200Hz upper. Just goes to show that even with this amazing technology, hearing aids still only capture a tiny part of the spectrum. Thanks for uploading!
I doubt it's your hearing aid that's limiting your upper frequency limit. Traditional band of intelligibility for voice sound reinforcement is 300-3000 Hz. People with "normal" hearing are most sensitive to a 2000-3000 Hz tone.
this actually scared the shit out of me. I have this in my liked videos and was cycling through them in class when I tabbed out and didn't realize it was playing, only to hear an increasingly anxiety-inducing sound.
Im 30 been a lead guitarist and played on stage with large amplis and used headphones like 4hrs per day on average. I could still hear the full range of this. 🙏

With headphones I can hear from 26 to 13500. I've had tinnitus all my life. What's cool is that using this I found the frequency of my left side tinnitus - it's about 11800. It's there 24/7, 365 non-stop but went away (or got drowned out) at that 11800 point in the video, then came back after.
I got to 19400 with two speakers playing simultaneously on either side of me and slowed down to .25x speed. It’s really a spiritual experience and I feel sorry for anyone else in my apartment who only heard it outside of the bubble O was in.😂
26 to about 12950 but I´m turning fifty and have had tinnitus more than half my life.. As a former bass player I´m very happy that I barely lost any low frequencies. Drums and guitars (not played by me) is what caused my tinnitus and probably also my premature hearing loss of higher frequencies.
Your hearing at higher frequencies is exactly what it's SUPPOSED to be. Everyone - irrespective of noise experience through life, loses the high frequencies. You're expected to have an upper range of about 12000Hz by the age of 50.
@@hellfirepictures I was a bit unclear.. the tinnitus and much of the "premature hearing loss" happened in my 20s. I quit trying to blast my ears off and now a quarter of a century later the average person have caught up. Obviously much more ok with hearing like a 50yo at 50 than at 25.
Wonderful ! I'm happy to have found this test so quickly , and judging from my experience I can easily hear 30 Hz to 15k Hz , but I'm not completely sure given the limitation of the speakers on my screen. If I may allow myself a bit of constructive criticism , I would like to see and listen the same test but with pulsating sound , this way I could more easily distinguish the test from the surrounding noises. Using the 'pause' feature on TH-cam to emulate this effect is generating a bunch of very audible clicks and ticks. 😕 PS - Strangely enough , the maximum range that I can perceive happens to also be the same as the tinnitus I get sometimes. Again , I'm not completely sure given the limitation of the equipment I'm using here.
I remember around 7 years ago when I was 14 I could hear from 25 to 17500. I decided to listen to this today and I can now only hear from 30 to barely 15000. It’s cool to see how our ears change as we age.
I'm 21 and have listened to a lot of loud music through headphones during my life. I've started noticing last year or two how my left ear is often ringing very slightly after listening to something loud for an extended period. With this test I noticed how I can hear to almost 17000 with my right ear, but barely past 15000 with my left ear... I have honestly no idea why only one of my ears have taken damage while the other one is pretty much completely fine
Or you have a acoustic neuroma (rare), inner ear infection, ear wax, eustachian tube dysfunction etc. Get an audiogram done by an audiologist if you want to test your ears
@@lawton6123 As I said I listen to music through headphones, so no. I don't even have a license for driving a car :) This is just me speculating, but it might have something to do with higher pitched sounds, like vocals and guitar, most of the time being positioned on the left channel in stereo mixes, meaning that my left ear has been exposed to way more high-pitched sound compared to my right ear
This is perfect thank you, I have incredibly loud neighbors upstairs, I mounted one of my speakers into the air vent, and I periodically blast it at 80+ decibels when I need them to quite down a bit... works like a charm... thank you.
this would be perfect for tormenting someone with hearing better than yours, leaving a 18k hz sound on at max volume, if you don't have good hearing you won't be able to hear it but everyone else will be in pain
Hey good people of the internet, there's no frequency signal above 18000 Hz in this video. From around 17000 to 18000 Hz the signal dies out. What some of you may be hearing is the aliasing of the signal which in layman terms is an artifact of the original audio signal. No one in the world can actually hear any 18000+ Hz frequencies coming from this video, only aliasing which is residing at much lower frequencies. The cutoff is most likely to due the compression method used for this video which cuts off certain frequency ranges to save space.
Kevvlio I higly doubt that considering that I can clearly hear that there is a sound there. And I stoped and played it again at that part to make sure it's not that. I'm at around 18590.
Grim Reaper You are hearing the aliasing which is at lower frequencies. The aliasing is essentially an artifact which you are hearing predominantly around the 2kHz to 5kHz range. There is no 18kHz+ frequency in the audio output of this video.
I think a lot of this is entirely dependent on what your hardware supports. I see a lot of people posting that they can start hearing at around the 70-150 Hz range, however I think that's just because most headphones or earbuds can't produce those low frequencies. With my earbuds, I started hearing at 80 Hz and stopped hearing at 14800 Hz. With a budget over the ear headphone, I could start hearing at 50 Hz and also stopped at around 14800 Hz. But with my reference headphones, I could start hearing at 20 Hz and could hear up to 16700 Hz. If you couldn't hear anything for a little bit, or your hearing stopped earlier than you thought it would have, it may be because of your headphones. You probably aren't losing your hearing!
the freq also depends on ur speaker/audio output. for me it was approx. 35 - 40Hz to 18,200Hz EDIT: just did it on my phone and I could hear from 25 to 17,300 Hz
People don't realise that the actual audio is not starting soft getting louder and then getting softer again. It is actually all the same volume from 20Hz - 20kHz. It is merely the sensitivity of our ears that makes it appear to us as quieter. We couldn't possibly hear a loud sound at 30 kHz (30 000 Hz) no matter how loud it was but it would be very distessfull to a dog. To a dog it would sound like a 1000 Hz tone at full volume sounds to us.
25-12200 at conversation volume on computer speakers. I'm 56 years old. This result is similar to other similar tests. Including studio mixing headphones and reference monitors. Lots of loud music over the years and difficulty understanding conversations in pubs (even sober ones) so have booked an appointment with an audiologist.
I didn’t know anyone had this comment, two people can have the same idea. Can you please stop saying “Coped comment” it’s dead annoying and I made some people smile (some people liked it)
My range, here, is from about 70 ... an extreme low hum ... to over 20K. I have perfect pitch, & can sing micro-tones in between tones. As if people didn't have enough reasons, here are at least 2-3 more that you just didn't need. #BornThisWay ...because reasons. You're welcome. LY2.
Guys it depends on your device speaker frequency sensing example:i have a headphone with 19200 Hz then when i reach 19200 HZ i will stop hearing above it. EDIT: *It also depends on Your Ear maximum hearing frequency sensing* EDIT 2: *Some devices can sense frequencies up to 192000 Hz,like radios Waves or great new headphones/pc sound cards,but this video only shows 20000 Hz max because this is the maximum hearing frequency sensing for average human.* *(Knowledge)* :D
Age 53, I thought mine peaked at 13,200 Hz, but I paused then played and I could still hear it. I kept doing that until up to 16,200 Hz That's when the high frequencies disappeared completely for me. I've played a lot of live music over the years in rock bands. So, I am pleased with the result.
Same, as soon as I didn´t hear anything, I paused for a second, continued and then could hear it again. I´ve done this a few times until it really stopped for me.
@@nilanjasa007 Well it seems like most things I listen to are really quiet unless my volume is up all the way. But I could hear up to like 18k so it must just be my headphones.
That means there's a small gap with your hair cells in your cochlea. However, at these high frequencies it has no impact on daily life and is nothing to worry about.
Hello people at 3 am scared that they are losing their ears after watching a random video and thought "oh fuck why am I not hearing this??? It's full volume???" Don't worry We're all here for the same reason It's okay, you're not losing your ears You're just overthinking Go to sleep hun
14 years old, on a phone, at max volume, can hear from 20Hz to 16000Hz, pretty damn bad if you ask me, but I do use my headphones probably 7 hours a day or something stupid like that, and I play the Bari sax, so I understand why I am really deaf for my age
That's not bad at all. I'd say that's vey good. Also, your range does not mean your hearing isn't healthy. It's determined by genetic factors. I've been born with weaker hearing (runs in the family). My hearing is 100 Hz and 14000 Hz. But it has been stable for years.
I can still hear it. Problem is the video is already over.

I'm happy to have found this test so quickly , and judging from my experience I can easily hear 30 Hz to 15k Hz , but I'm not completely sure given the limitation of the speakers on my screen. If I may allow myself a bit of constructive criticism , I would like to see and listen the same test but with pulsating sound , this way I could more easily distinguish the test from the surrounding noises. Using the 'pause' feature on TH-cam to emulate this effect is generating a bunch of very audible clicks and ticks. 😕
PS - Strangely enough , the maximum range that I can perceive happens to also be the same as the tinnitus I get sometimes. Again , I'm not completely sure given the limitation of the equipment I'm using here.
20hz-17200. I'm only watching this because lately I've been paranoid that I'm losing my hearing
Exactly the same. I'm actually convinced this either where the noise stops or the limitation of general speakers.
If you listen to much of THIS, you MIGHT lose your hearing! I only listened until it got uncomfortably shrill and stopped it!
Your hearing is excellent.
@@LisaLane711 thank you
@@SkydivingSquid 17200 hz I believe is the limitation on youtube
I remember around 7 years ago when I was 14 I could hear from 25 to 17500. I decided to listen to this today and I can now only hear from 30 to barely 15000. It’s cool to see how our ears change as we age.
bruh i start hearing at 53
Could be the head phones.
Could be the headphones really. I could hear from start of the video until 17200

Thanks. My ear works perfectly, I can even hear the sound even when the video ended.
Simon Cowell HAHAHA
I'm 21 and have listened to a lot of loud music through headphones during my life. I've started noticing last year or two how my left ear is often ringing very slightly after listening to something loud for an extended period. With this test I noticed how I can hear to almost 17000 with my right ear, but barely past 15000 with my left ear... I have honestly no idea why only one of my ears have taken damage while the other one is pretty much completely fine
Open window while driving
@@lawton6123 What?
@@GandalfGreyhame If you drive with an open window, the sound of traffic, wind etc will affect your window side hearing, causing hearing loss
Or you have a acoustic neuroma (rare), inner ear infection, ear wax, eustachian tube dysfunction etc. Get an audiogram done by an audiologist if you want to test your ears
@@lawton6123 As I said I listen to music through headphones, so no. I don't even have a license for driving a car :) This is just me speculating, but it might have something to do with higher pitched sounds, like vocals and guitar, most of the time being positioned on the left channel in stereo mixes, meaning that my left ear has been exposed to way more high-pitched sound compared to my right ear

this would be perfect for tormenting someone with hearing better than yours, leaving a 18k hz sound on at max volume, if you don't have good hearing you won't be able to hear it but everyone else will be in pain
Hey good people of the internet, there's no frequency signal above 18000 Hz in this video. From around 17000 to 18000 Hz the signal dies out. What some of you may be hearing is the aliasing of the signal which in layman terms is an artifact of the original audio signal.
No one in the world can actually hear any 18000+ Hz frequencies coming from this video, only aliasing which is residing at much lower frequencies. The cutoff is most likely to due the compression method used for this video which cuts off certain frequency ranges to save space.
This needs to be pushed to the top.
Kevvlio To be honest I actually still heard 18000 plus soooo... I probably have superhuman hearing...
Kevvlio I higly doubt that considering that I can clearly hear that there is a sound there. And I stoped and played it again at that part to make sure it's not that. I'm at around 18590.
Grim Reaper You are hearing the aliasing which is at lower frequencies. The aliasing is essentially an artifact which you are hearing predominantly around the 2kHz to 5kHz range. There is no 18kHz+ frequency in the audio output of this video.
Jep it stopped around 18000 and then it faded away (idk if that is Englisch)
I used this to get water out of my phone speaker. Worked rlly well.

Everyone talking about them starting to hear around 30 but I didn’t hear anything till 80 💀
I think a lot of this is entirely dependent on what your hardware supports. I see a lot of people posting that they can start hearing at around the 70-150 Hz range, however I think that's just because most headphones or earbuds can't produce those low frequencies. With my earbuds, I started hearing at 80 Hz and stopped hearing at 14800 Hz. With a budget over the ear headphone, I could start hearing at 50 Hz and also stopped at around 14800 Hz. But with my reference headphones, I could start hearing at 20 Hz and could hear up to 16700 Hz. If you couldn't hear anything for a little bit, or your hearing stopped earlier than you thought it would have, it may be because of your headphones. You probably aren't losing your hearing!
I'm using a $60 headset and could hear from 25-17600HZ
I was able to hear the whole frequency spectrum
Beats are really good for this test
ye used to do this test a few years ago and capped out at 15 or 16 maybe, but with my current, 18 is still there
the freq also depends on ur speaker/audio output.
for me it was approx. 35 - 40Hz to 18,200Hz
EDIT: just did it on my phone and I could hear from 25 to 17,300 Hz

**chuckles** I’m in danger

Taco same
I made it through the whole thing.
People don't realise that the actual audio is not starting soft getting louder and then getting softer again. It is actually all the same volume from 20Hz - 20kHz. It is merely the sensitivity of our ears that makes it appear to us as quieter.
We couldn't possibly hear a loud sound at 30 kHz (30 000 Hz) no matter how loud it was but it would be very distessfull to a dog. To a dog it would sound like a 1000 Hz tone at full volume sounds to us.
Same or the anxiousness because you have ear buds on and feel vibrations
25-12200 at conversation volume on computer speakers. I'm 56 years old. This result is similar to other similar tests. Including studio mixing headphones and reference monitors. Lots of loud music over the years and difficulty understanding conversations in pubs (even sober ones) so have booked an appointment with an audiologist.
When considering your heaing, keep in mind that not every sound setup can reproduce the frequencies on the low and high end.
Y’all know that fear when you listen to it like it’s going to pop your ear drums? Or something? Yeah that’s what I’m feeling

Guys it depends on your device speaker frequency sensing example:i have a headphone with 19200 Hz
then when i reach 19200 HZ i will stop hearing above it.
EDIT: *It also depends on Your Ear maximum hearing frequency sensing*
EDIT 2: *Some devices can sense frequencies up to 192000 Hz,like radios Waves or great new headphones/pc sound cards,but this video only shows 20000 Hz max because this is the maximum hearing frequency sensing for average human.* *(Knowledge)* :D

Whoa calm down satan
Age 53, I thought mine peaked at 13,200 Hz, but I paused then played and I could still hear it. I kept doing that until up to 16,200 Hz That's when the high frequencies disappeared completely for me. I've played a lot of live music over the years in rock bands. So, I am pleased with the result.
Same, as soon as I didn´t hear anything, I paused for a second, continued and then could hear it again. I´ve done this a few times until it really stopped for me.
Can't hear 20 hertz, but I certainly can feel it damaging my brain.

That means there's a small gap with your hair cells in your cochlea. However, at these high frequencies it has no impact on daily life and is nothing to worry about.

That's not bad at all. I'd say that's vey good. Also, your range does not mean your hearing isn't healthy. It's determined by genetic factors. I've been born with weaker hearing (runs in the family). My hearing is 100 Hz and 14000 Hz. But it has been stable for years.
