60 years old; got to 8.000 Hz. Sad for someone like me who had a perfect hearing and musicality. - Thank you for making this quick, professional and cheerful test! ❤
Me 37- 12,000hz max Son 18- heard till 18,000hz but was getting quite around 14,000hz Son 11- heard all clearly. Daughter 10- heard all but 18,000hz was very quite.
46 years old, I got to 16000khz but it was very quiet to me. My children and dog heard all clearly. A few weeks ago, I woke my child up whilst burning in a pair of headphones with top to bottom frequencies in a different room.
29 years here and i have tinnitus. Could hear everything but the last tone. When used a program to sweep from 20Hz to 20kHz, it's actually funny to hear the sound disappearing after 18kHz. And just like you explained: We can't hear, but we can feel.
i'm 83 and heard 8k~ in both ears; back in the day using my test equipment, I could hear 16k~. I believe my HF range was damaged by a Craftsman belt sander that had a very noisy HF gear reduction set to the point of pain and I just disregarded it....
Thank you for this interesting hearing tests. I am using Microsoft Edge. I don't know if this program influences the frequencies that my ears pick up. I am 67 and got all the tests right all the way to 18Khz. But as you said "we can't hear but can feel". I don't really hear the last 3 tests. But my ears can feel the "pressure". Therefore, the last 3 tests i picked the directions (left or right) based on how my ears feel the pressure.
I have been listening to music on max volume for 7 months, I was afraid I had ear damage and I'm only 14, this really made me feel better, but I plan on lowering the volume
I really hope you lowered the volume. I'm 33 and I'm pretty sure I have some hearing loss from listening to music way too loud when I was a teenager. My dad warned me, but I didn't listen. And now I have trouble hearing people if there is any background noise (like in a car or near running water or in a crowd of people). It's really annoying. Protect your ears!
Music does not have to be blasting to enjoy it. In fact, it's more enjoyable at medium volumes... let your brain engage at a lower volume... close your eyes and truly listen. Focus on it. You'll quickly realize loud volume does not equal sonic bliss.
@@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio Subjective. I have to disagree. Although I don't listen to music at full blast anymore, it did feel great. Epsecially after smoking, full volume. Takes you out of this world.
@@0b100 I'm not outright opposed to loud music - used to blast my head off back in the day. However, a system will perform much better if being listened to at a volume where its full dynamic range can be used. That brings out the music's emotion much better when the dynamic swings are intact (ie when the system works comfortably within its parameters, rather than pushing its limits to dynamic compression).
@@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio Yes, I've learned a lot about audio over the years as I'm an aspiring producer. Severe loss of hearing would have killed any future dreams. I listen to music on a level my phone suggests, I'm actually having problems with hearing right now though. I'm kind of scared, it sort of hurts. I will listen to my music quietly.
Got to 14k and am 50 years old, had the left/right in correct order. After 30 years standing in busy classrooms I am not surprised that I lost some hearing. I still enjoy music though. Just got myself some new headphones that reach to 25k: they sound ok to me. A little burn in time will probably improve them.
40 years, made it up to 12khz. I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and so do my kids. It's a connective tissue disorder affecting all tissue in the body. Our hearing can be really sensitive because the muscles in the inner ear are hypermobile and can move too much. A lot of noises hurt but certain air pressures can be uncomfortable. The flexible ear tissue must allow for damage. I have trouble hearing a lot of things but I'll feel pressure or discomfort when I CAN'T hear tones tones that are played. I love what you say about HD. That's how I teach my kids manners, through science. Sounds waves are physics, the movement of particles. There's no sound in space because it's a vacuum. When we yell, we're using our energy to move the particles around us and physically impact other people's eardrums. Sound is physical--whether or not we can "hear" it.
Came up to 14.000khz. My hearing actually cuts off at about 15.000, as soon as it goes above I hear NOTHING 😂 I'm only 19, guess the years of listening to music almost non stop through my earphones are taking their toll.
No, this test is stupid. I can confirm TH-cam cuts off frequency above 15000hz. The audio gets compressed severely. I can hear up to 17600hz and I’m 17 so try checking on other websites
Nope, all frequencies are there. I made a check with an engineer. If you don't seem them on an app or software, try changing browsers. For example we discovered that Safari cuts all frequencies after 14khz. In any case, TH-cam does mainly data compression.
I honestly I've been getting really really worried about my hearing and I'm really really glad that I could hear it until 18khz its a really really high pitch
22 yrs old, I was able to hear upto 16khz clear as day! Had a little problem hearing 18khz but when I cranked the volume a little higher I was able to hear it too. Just not as good as 16khz... And for the sequence ==> L-R-R-L-L-L-R

60 here lifelong loud music listener & Concert goer. Got up to 12,000 NP. Nothing above that. Still say my high res music (SACD, DVD-A, Blu-Ray Audio Vinyl Rips etc...) sounds much better than CD.
56 here and heard them all but i'll say they got less volume for me at 16 and 18. And 16 sounded slightly lower toned, probably the signature of my HD590's affecting it. Nice test and thank you. I'm happy I can still hear ok.
16000 40Years (14000 AND 16000 i hear tone but felt presure on my ear) from 15 years i listen music very loud with headphons in ear and over ear. everybody tolld me that i will loose my hearing. but still good. for this video used focal clear. thanx man
51 years old and I reached 14,000 Hz. At that range the sound was only just detectable in left ear which makes me think I might not hear it for much longer. I know hearing beyond this range is very unusual for someone my age so I am pleased as I have looked after my ears over the years!
67 years old and listen to music a ton...pretty loud but not rock. Heard 16k loud and clear but not 18. On another youtube test i heard 18k but I'll assume yours is more accurate. I'm quite happy still hearing 16k so loud.
40 yo. Listening from laptop on dell external speakers. (will do the test again with headphones when able) Heard clearly up to 14000 Hz. At 16000Hz was more like a feeling of something to my ears, and got the channel correctly. Nothing at 18000Hz.
Yes i have tinitus in 12Khz, so i already made this test in this same manner , and up tp 11Khz i ablr to hear, but nmore than this. i make confusion whitcj sound is, my tinitus or the frequency !!!!!
60 years; have had a tinnitus for 21 years, got stronger after a chemo 2 years ago. Heard 6000 Hz fine, clear Nope for all others. Thankfully, it doesn't matter too much day-to-day.
12Khz . I'm using Sennheiser HD 598 headphones and I found that below 10Khz just a slight adjustment of the position of the headphones on my ears could make the sound pretty loud or almost completely disappear, I'm guessing this is due to phase cancellation of the sound bouncing inside the ear cup, ear , etc. When I was in high school (very long time ago) I could hear to about 16.5Khz.
Not true. You must change browser and in fact a lot of people, if you read tye comments, did reach 18Khz. I cannot hear it at normal volume but I used an app on my phone that should that the frequency was actually played! Try for yourself!
Went all the way up to 16.000Hz (left-right-right-left-left-left), but the 16kHz frequency it sounded more like the noise a capercaillie does. I'm 52 and spend like 6-7 hours a day with headphones on. Volume was set at 50%.
Done these tests before, always hear less as years pass, lol! At 65, 12K, no problem, 14K? Maybe, but pretty faint. Had no difficulty with 14Khz a few years ago. Regardless, I don't sense anything less in what I hear in music, brain can compensate for normal decline of high frequency processing. Can still distinguish good gear from lesser gear. Music still sounds great.
The whole range was possible to hear in the specific side. I'm 55 years old (doesn't look on the image, I know, but it is the very true - music has this power to keep us quite young). Congrats for your Channel !!!
I barely heard the 6000 in my left ear, then nothing at any of the higher frequencies, but I have mild to severe loss in both ears, so it's not surprising. I've always been this way.
I hear loudly and clearly up to 14000 Hz, but I also managed to feel 16 and 18. This is some kind of barely noticeable pressure in one of the channels. 🙂
I'm 64 with tinnitus in both ears, periodically very loud in my right ear. Since I was 19. I could hear the tones correctly up to 10KHZ. I could hear a lower resonant, pulsating frequency up to16KHZ with earbuds but not the actual frequency above 10KHZ. That's on the TH-cam app on an android phone with Dolby Atmos through Cambridge Melomania 1+ earbuds.
I'm led to believe the reason why most tinnitus maskers are so ineffectual is due to the high frequency loss, particularly in my right ear, which is noticeable compared to my left. The whine/hiss/pulse I have is in frequencies I can't hear from external sources which means I can't hear masking frequencies and therefore there's no relief from simple hiss recordings. Some maskers with complex sweeping mixes can set up resonant responses in my ears that do have an effect, but it's not lasting.
I'm 63. And I had a hearing test with an audiologist last year and I'm a hearing aide candidate. Nonetheless, I believe I heard to 16K. 18K was just a guess. If I did get these right it just proves something else I've often thought of - there are more cues than just that frequency. Whether it's pressure or harmonics, or something else, I tend to do a good job of guessing. Now, let's see..... Nope. I got up to 8k, then missied 10, 12 and 14K, but guessed right at 16 and 18K. Probably was guessing, but there is ringing in my ears, so I get them mixed up sometimes.
77 years here - could hear 10,000 easily but zip beyond that. Still seem to hear fine in normal situations - don't consider myself a candidate for hearing aids, tho' I'm sure an audiologist may disagree (especially if they sell the things). Still enjoy music on a modest hifi and am annoyed by faint noises that much younger members of my family seem oblivious to. (Using Audio-Technica ATH-M40x)
I am 21 years old and I guessed all correctly using Phillips SHP9600 headphones, and I got to 18,000 Hz, but it was more of a pressure feeling than a sound, but I could clearly hear 16,000 Hz. 6,000 Hz - Left 8,000 Hz - Right 10,000 Hz - Right 12,000 Hz - Left 14,000 Hz - Left 16,000 Hz - Left 18,000 Hz - Right
I'm 32 years old and I can hear all frequencies even if with the last two I had a little more effort, especially with 18000hz, I seem to hear a cricket in the distance on the right
14.000 for me at 42. But I wonder am I really missing out by not hearing above that level? And is it possible to demonstrate that? I was thinking that our emotional response to music will change our perception of the source. We are biased. Also, if the source is unclear or there is noise our brain can fill in the unclear pieces. Listening to the same piece of music will increase the dept of the experience. It's like watching a movie or reading a book multiple times. You can also learn to listen better just by forcing yourself to concentrate and not doing anything else. Sound is communication. Both sender and receiver play a part in it. And let's not forget our other senses can augment the musical experience. Thanks again for a nice episode anadialog!
I heard up to 12KHz, at 52. Here is a chart for music mixing: ( s3.amazonaws.com/ssipublic/musicfrequencycheatsheet.pdf ). Above 10KHz, one is looking into "air", "snap", and "overtones". I have high frequency tinnitus (got from being close to computer servers for too long), which I only notice when it is really quiet (e.g. listening to these test tones). I recently upgraded to a pair of Legacy Audio Aeris speakers (with Wavelet) which go from 18Hz to 30KHz. The experience is something else. You don't really need to force yourself to listen. Just relax an enjoy. With these systems, if you close your eyes, and just listen, you can't really tell how big your actual room is, as the system can make the front of the room sound like a large hall. This is all due to reverberations in the recordings, which are all at lower frequencies. The most noticeable stuff happens below 10KHz. Of course, if you multi-task and do something else when the music is on, you aren't even focusing a little. With the lower end systems, it can be boring to try to just listen to only the sound system. At the higher end, it seems like the musical instruments are in the room, and it is harder to focus on something else. Imagine that a person is really singing in the room. Not so easy to try to focus on other things.
I think this video will make you happy (at least for the headphones section) watch all and you will find some dedicated suggestions : th-cam.com/video/wAFXElyM-TM/w-d-xo.html
Yep, I could hear the 14k, I've heard up to about 15k on other tests. I'm 54 years old and have listened to pretty loud music my whole life and have attended hundreds of concerts. Not bad I suppose. I do have a trace of Tinnitus though...
I will say more: Right ear hear up to 18.3KHz, left to 18Khz with headphones.With speakers up close to 17.5KHz.Also in the headphones, above 18.3KHz, there is pressure without a pronounced tone, I hear up to 19.5KHz. Perhaps this is a third-party resonance of the headphone cases, but the measuring microphone does not see it, so most likely the hearing does not fully determine this range. Everything seems to depend on the weather and physical condition. I`m sound engineer, 28 years old. P.S.: On TH-cam, the frequency range of the audio track is full only at maximum resolution. In this video - 1080p50.
Now I could hear the tone around 16k, and if I ended up turning the volume up, boom I get to 18k. But I'd have to triple the volume essentially. So taking this into consideration, the fact I can hear it at 20% volume at 16k is maybe good? I'm 23, so yeah...
I think, just like seeing at advanced age, it’s a matter of degree as well as freq. I can see better with more light, I can hear better with more volume. As the freq. went up I needed to increase volume but I heard up to 14k. In my listening room I use an equalizer to boost over 8k. I’ll bet young people will hear it as a harsh / bright sound, but to me ...... perfect Thanks again for a great video . Btw, I’m 64
I'm 45 years old I did not cheat, in fact I ripped the video using Wondershare so I didn't even know that you had the answers in the comments section, using a FIIO BTR3 as a DAC (so I wasn't using Bluetooth) using my Sony MDR-X10's I got all the answers correct! What I must say however was that from the 5th-7th audio signals I felt the sound coming from my headphones, not so much as actually hearing the sounds!
Yeah I found it is not automatic you can't hear the higher frequencies I've found in playing around in these tests, varies between files and tests. Not sure why.
its incredible. I ve heared all of them!!!! im 45 and really suprized coz i often visit shows for metal and hardcore punk. so my ears must be damaged. but they are happily not
I'm 49 and could clearly hear the 14,000. the 16,000 I could hear the little clicks on occasion but that was it. I found it interesting since I teach K-12 and have used a very high pitch sound that I could not hear, but does get the attention of my students.
14000 I could hear faintly but nothing above that, I'm 48 and have had my hearing tested at an audiologist as I have eustachian tube dysfunction, and could hear most except the top range, for my age it's pretty good. I know I've heard someone mutter something about me and I've turned round and said what they've said and they've been pretty surprised I could hear them, always the same since a kid lol.
If you are listening on a computer, the sound card is a limiting factor. I have the Sheffield/A2TB test disc in my Apple Music library. When I listen with my JVC (wired) and LETSCOM (Bluetooth, but using the wired connection)headphones on my Yamaha AVR/Apple TV 4K, I can heat the test tones from 20hZ to 19K Hz. When listen on the Apple music site, the last tone is the 10k Hz. The sound card on my work computer doesn't send the 15k or 19k tones through using the Chrome browser.
ANA[DIA]LOG Update: When I got home from work, I played the tones using my LETSCOM BT headset wired to my home system (Yamaha RX-V373, ATV 4K) and could hear all tones. I also played the tones using my 35 year old Bose 301 II speakers and could hear them as well. I also played them on my mother’s Sony HTIB and ATV 3rd generation, no tones over 12K. I’m not sure if the ATV 3rd gen can send the tones or the AVR. The AVR specs say it goes to 20K.
20000Hz, i can notice the difference between analog and digital media (usually the latter is better) in technical terms. MP3, OGG, AC3's compression algorithms are very noticiable for me. Reel to Reel tapes never have a flat frequency response but they are the closest to digital and can deliver magic for mixing thanks to subtle distortion and interesting dynamic compression.
Ooooh! Lots of distortion, not even a sine wave anymore, more like a distorted sawtooth or ramp wave. Will try my Sennheiser headphones, then direct output from DAC RCA connector on my Panasonic 60Mhz scope
Listening via Safari, I could not hear anything above 14k Hz. Switching to Chrome, I hear all the frequencies. Results...100% correct..ALL identified correctly. I am 64 years of age.
6000hz - left. 8,000hz - right. 10,000hx - right. 12,000hz - left. 14,000hs - left. And that's where my actual hearing cut off at 34 years old. But i will caveat that with there is; a heater running, a cat snoring, a computer running, and someone walking around upstairs, so i may, possibly, if i had total silence be able to hear 16,000hz, but i definitely cannot hear above that. This also gave me as terrible headache, but i knew that was a risk going in. And, the funny thing is I've been to hard rock concerts and my preferred musical taste is hard rock and metal because they tend to have lower tones imho.

51 years old and I reached 14,000 Hz. At that range the sound was only just detectable in left ear which makes me think I might not hear it for much longer. I know hearing beyond this range is very unusual for someone my age so I am pleased as I have looked after my ears over the years!
Same for 16k too. Left ear only and I'm 29.
32- heard all of them except the 18,000 but I was able to tell there was something in my right ear just didn't hear it the exact same
67 years old and listen to music a ton...pretty loud but not rock. Heard 16k loud and clear but not 18. On another youtube test i heard 18k but I'll assume yours is more accurate. I'm quite happy still hearing 16k so loud.
Wow! Congrats!
30 year old with tinnitus, made it up to 14k Hz. Utilizing hearing protection and finding a reasonable volume is important, guys.
Hi, I'm 17 years old and I reached 18000 hz pretty easily true my laptop speakers!
Wow, that's phenomenal!
I got all of them, sometimes having sensory issues comes in handy. 😎
lol true, having an audio processing disorder is really handy for stuff like this, although it did make this video a bit unbearable.
@@valestiaaa True.
@@valestiaaa it hurt like hell they were all super lound and only got louder they never got any quieter
I didn't even pause the video to think and still got them all right while listening even had to take of the headphones on the last one
40 yo. Listening from laptop on dell external speakers. (will do the test again with headphones when able) Heard clearly up to 14000 Hz. At 16000Hz was more like a feeling of something to my ears, and got the channel correctly. Nothing at 18000Hz.
67 yrs and I am surprised to get them all correct. I used headphones.
This is really hard when you have tinnitus😬
Very slow 18.000hz 😁😁😛😁😁
Stay strong king
Yes it's impossible I only heard the early tones and I have ringing from Tinnitus
Yes i have tinitus in 12Khz, so i already made this test in this same manner , and up tp 11Khz i ablr to hear, but nmore than this. i make confusion whitcj sound is, my tinitus or the frequency !!!!!
60 years; have had a tinnitus for 21 years, got stronger after a chemo 2 years ago. Heard 6000 Hz fine, clear Nope for all others. Thankfully, it doesn't matter too much day-to-day.
12Khz . I'm using Sennheiser HD 598 headphones and I found that below 10Khz just a slight adjustment of the position of the headphones on my ears could make the sound pretty loud or almost completely disappear, I'm guessing this is due to phase cancellation of the sound bouncing inside the ear cup, ear , etc. When I was in high school (very long time ago) I could hear to about 16.5Khz.
That is a very good point there...yes, any slight movement chances dramatically the result
62 years old , 12k right ear 10k left , on a different online sweep test where you pause the video when you hear a tone I got13k right 11k left
Up to 16.ooo Hz without headphones , with SoftMachine 5-th album playing in background and with 48 years age.👂👍
Impressive!
@@anadialog TH-cam cuts everything above 16kHz, so its pointless exercise.
Not true. You must change browser and in fact a lot of people, if you read tye comments, did reach 18Khz. I cannot hear it at normal volume but I used an app on my phone that should that the frequency was actually played! Try for yourself!
Went all the way up to 16.000Hz (left-right-right-left-left-left), but the 16kHz frequency it sounded more like the noise a capercaillie does. I'm 52 and spend like 6-7 hours a day with headphones on. Volume was set at 50%.
41 yrs old and i got to 14k. Seemed like more of a feeling than a sound though.
Im 26 years Old. Living as Live sound engineer the past 10 years. Can still hear 18.000 hz clear.
Congrats!
Done these tests before, always hear less as years pass, lol! At 65, 12K, no problem, 14K? Maybe, but pretty faint. Had no difficulty with 14Khz a few years ago. Regardless, I don't sense anything less in what I hear in music, brain can compensate for normal decline of high frequency processing. Can still distinguish good gear from lesser gear. Music still sounds great.
That is the important part, I agree!
The whole range was possible to hear in the specific side. I'm 55 years old (doesn't look on the image, I know, but it is the very true - music has this power to keep us quite young). Congrats for your Channel !!!
Thanks!
I barely heard the 6000 in my left ear, then nothing at any of the higher frequencies, but I have mild to severe loss in both ears, so it's not surprising. I've always been this way.
I’m 42, I could here 14.000Hz and at 16 my ears were pulsating but I couldn’t hear anything. Weird
I hear loudly and clearly up to 14000 Hz, but I also managed to feel 16 and 18. This is some kind of barely noticeable pressure in one of the channels. 🙂
Interesting!
18,000 Hz felt more like pressure to me too, but I could clearly hear 16,000 Hz.
same!
65 years old as a rock artist i manage
to hear up to 12….. and than just felt pressure
thanks
heard up to 16 on main speakers and up to 14 on head phones. This is a message that I have to get better headphones.
Or that you have some really killer main speakers!
🤣
I'm 64 with tinnitus in both ears, periodically very loud in my right ear. Since I was 19. I could hear the tones correctly up to 10KHZ. I could hear a lower resonant, pulsating frequency up to16KHZ with earbuds but not the actual frequency above 10KHZ. That's on the TH-cam app on an android phone with Dolby Atmos through Cambridge Melomania 1+ earbuds.
I'm led to believe the reason why most tinnitus maskers are so ineffectual is due to the high frequency loss, particularly in my right ear, which is noticeable compared to my left. The whine/hiss/pulse I have is in frequencies I can't hear from external sources which means I can't hear masking frequencies and therefore there's no relief from simple hiss recordings. Some maskers with complex sweeping mixes can set up resonant responses in my ears that do have an effect, but it's not lasting.
I'm 63. And I had a hearing test with an audiologist last year and I'm a hearing aide candidate. Nonetheless, I believe I heard to 16K. 18K was just a guess. If I did get these right it just proves something else I've often thought of - there are more cues than just that frequency. Whether it's pressure or harmonics, or something else, I tend to do a good job of guessing. Now, let's see..... Nope. I got up to 8k, then missied 10, 12 and 14K, but guessed right at 16 and 18K. Probably was guessing, but there is ringing in my ears, so I get them mixed up sometimes.
Good job in any case!
77 years here - could hear 10,000 easily but zip beyond that. Still seem to hear fine in normal situations - don't consider myself a candidate for hearing aids, tho' I'm sure an audiologist may disagree (especially if they sell the things). Still enjoy music on a modest hifi and am annoyed by faint noises that much younger members of my family seem oblivious to.
(Using Audio-Technica ATH-M40x)
Heard 10 kHz easily but sod all beyond that (77 years).
32 Years old male. My results are: 6k left; 8k right; 10k right; 12k left; 14k left; 16k left - hard to depickt had to up the volume; 18k nothing
I am 21 years old and I guessed all correctly using Phillips SHP9600 headphones, and I got to 18,000 Hz, but it was more of a pressure feeling than a sound, but I could clearly hear 16,000 Hz.
6,000 Hz - Left
8,000 Hz - Right
10,000 Hz - Right
12,000 Hz - Left
14,000 Hz - Left
16,000 Hz - Left
18,000 Hz - Right
I'm 32 years old and I can hear all frequencies even if with the last two I had a little more effort, especially with 18000hz, I seem to hear a cricket in the distance on the right
12: I heard it until 18.000 hertz and I’m VERY impressed
I could hear the 12k tone, but nothing higher. Great test. I'm 63.
12k, i'm 43 years old, tried with 2 different pairs of headphones but reached the same point
I couldn't hear the last two but could slightly discern where they were when I paid real close attention. 37 year old male.
Up to 14k included, 35 year old . Cool video thx
Good job!
14.000 for me at 42. But I wonder am I really missing out by not hearing above that level? And is it possible to demonstrate that? I was thinking that our emotional response to music will change our perception of the source. We are biased. Also, if the source is unclear or there is noise our brain can fill in the unclear pieces. Listening to the same piece of music will increase the dept of the experience. It's like watching a movie or reading a book multiple times. You can also learn to listen better just by forcing yourself to concentrate and not doing anything else. Sound is communication. Both sender and receiver play a part in it. And let's not forget our other senses can augment the musical experience. Thanks again for a nice episode anadialog!
I agree!
I heard up to 12KHz, at 52. Here is a chart for music mixing: ( s3.amazonaws.com/ssipublic/musicfrequencycheatsheet.pdf ). Above 10KHz, one is looking into "air", "snap", and "overtones". I have high frequency tinnitus (got from being close to computer servers for too long), which I only notice when it is really quiet (e.g. listening to these test tones). I recently upgraded to a pair of Legacy Audio Aeris speakers (with Wavelet) which go from 18Hz to 30KHz. The experience is something else. You don't really need to force yourself to listen. Just relax an enjoy. With these systems, if you close your eyes, and just listen, you can't really tell how big your actual room is, as the system can make the front of the room sound like a large hall. This is all due to reverberations in the recordings, which are all at lower frequencies. The most noticeable stuff happens below 10KHz. Of course, if you multi-task and do something else when the music is on, you aren't even focusing a little. With the lower end systems, it can be boring to try to just listen to only the sound system. At the higher end, it seems like the musical instruments are in the room, and it is harder to focus on something else. Imagine that a person is really singing in the room. Not so easy to try to focus on other things.
I would like a video, I don't know if there is already, showing the best MUSIC titles for testing equipment in general, specially headphones
I think this video will make you happy (at least for the headphones section) watch all and you will find some dedicated suggestions : th-cam.com/video/wAFXElyM-TM/w-d-xo.html
I’m 50 and 18,000 was subtle but noticeable. Anything under that was very audible.
Wow! Congrats!
I now understand why they are called Hurts I heard all of them and they were all painful
Yep, I could hear the 14k, I've heard up to about 15k on other tests. I'm 54 years old and have listened to pretty loud music my whole life and have attended hundreds of concerts. Not bad I suppose. I do have a trace of Tinnitus though...
Very good!
i heard up to 14kHz - easily. i'm 52 years old. Matze, Berlin/Germany
Cool test, I'm 29yrs old and was able to follow and hear all frequencies. Started to be painful after 14K.
I could hear up to 16.000 identifying left/right correctly, I'm 47 years old.
I will say more: Right ear hear up to 18.3KHz, left to 18Khz with headphones.With speakers up close to 17.5KHz.Also in the headphones, above 18.3KHz, there is pressure without a pronounced tone, I hear up to 19.5KHz. Perhaps this is a third-party resonance of the headphone cases, but the measuring microphone does not see it, so most likely the hearing does not fully determine this range.
Everything seems to depend on the weather and physical condition.
I`m sound engineer, 28 years old.
P.S.: On TH-cam, the frequency range of the audio track is full only at maximum resolution. In this video - 1080p50.
Wow! Congrats!! P.s. that is a good point, thanks for pointing that out. I will write it the video description!
Now I could hear the tone around 16k, and if I ended up turning the volume up, boom I get to 18k. But I'd have to triple the volume essentially.
So taking this into consideration, the fact I can hear it at 20% volume at 16k is maybe good? I'm 23, so yeah...
Same
I'm 55 and got up to 14K. I'm glad it was done in my better ear.
I think, just like seeing at advanced age, it’s a matter of degree as well as freq. I can see better with more light, I can hear better with more volume. As the freq. went up I needed to increase volume but I heard up to 14k. In my listening room I use an equalizer to boost over 8k. I’ll bet young people will hear it as a harsh / bright sound, but to me ...... perfect Thanks again for a great video . Btw, I’m 64
Thank you Michael!
im 14 and i can get to about 18,000 and on this i found it really fun the answers i got were
1) left
2)right
3)right
4)left
5)left
6)left
7)left
I'm 33 and I could reach 14k at normal volume.
I had to crank up the volume at full blast to barely get 16k
I used the KZ Pros IEMs and heard every tone, and im 58yrs listened to music loud most of my life with headphones ! (Huck)
Congrats!
I’m 24 and I reached up to 14thousand
I´m 76 years old.I got to 10.000 hz (the last one, I can "feel it"), and I have tinnitus. I can live with it.
50 years old- 14k was the highest I could hear.
I did my own sound test a year ago, see the videos on my channel, and I'm hearing up to 11500 Hz (53 yo)
I didn't hear 14000+. But I've turned the volume up and heard them, ha) Every "left-right" is ok for me. 31yo.
I heard the first 6 sounds, but not the last one. i like this guy.
My right ear heard to 8. My left ear heard to 10. 😢 I’m 55 yrs old.
I'm 45 years old I did not cheat, in fact I ripped the video using Wondershare so I didn't even know that you had the answers in the comments section, using a FIIO BTR3 as a DAC (so I wasn't using Bluetooth) using my Sony MDR-X10's I got all the answers correct! What I must say however was that from the 5th-7th audio signals I felt the sound coming from my headphones, not so much as actually hearing the sounds!
Congrats!
I am 30 year old and I heard up to 18000 hz it was panned to the right .....confirm if anyone else heard it ....
Thank you for video. Almost 44 years old. With headphones, up to 14kHz BUT...strangely, in some way, I "detected" the 18kHz tone on the right.
Interesting...
@@anadialog 16kHz tone, no clue, ok. Then, the 18kHz tone: "Wait, I hear something in my right ear". Like a very, very, very distant bee.
Yeah I found it is not automatic you can't hear the higher frequencies I've found in playing around in these tests, varies between files and tests. Not sure why.
I think your right ear must hear better than your left ear.
its incredible. I ve heared all of them!!!! im 45 and really suprized coz i often visit shows for metal and hardcore punk. so my ears must be damaged. but they are happily not
Wow! That is a an incredible result!
@@anadialog i mean,it was not easy. But if you really concentrate yourself, you hear and feel it
I'm 49 and could clearly hear the 14,000. the 16,000 I could hear the little clicks on occasion but that was it. I found it interesting since I teach K-12 and have used a very high pitch sound that I could not hear, but does get the attention of my students.
got all of them right.age 16
Congrats!!
14000 I could hear faintly but nothing above that, I'm 48 and have had my hearing tested at an audiologist as I have eustachian tube dysfunction, and could hear most except the top range, for my age it's pretty good. I know I've heard someone mutter something about me and I've turned round and said what they've said and they've been pretty surprised I could hear them, always the same since a kid lol.
18 years old
made it to 10k, guess its time for some new ears aye
Try changing browser or application
If you are listening on a computer, the sound card is a limiting factor. I have the Sheffield/A2TB test disc in my Apple Music library. When I listen with my JVC (wired) and LETSCOM (Bluetooth, but using the wired connection)headphones on my Yamaha AVR/Apple TV 4K, I can heat the test tones from 20hZ to 19K Hz. When listen on the Apple music site, the last tone is the 10k Hz. The sound card on my work computer doesn't send the 15k or 19k tones through using the Chrome browser.
Thanks for sharing that!
ANA[DIA]LOG Update: When I got home from work, I played the tones using my LETSCOM BT headset wired to my home system (Yamaha RX-V373, ATV 4K) and could hear all tones. I also played the tones using my 35 year old Bose 301 II speakers and could hear them as well. I also played them on my mother’s Sony HTIB and ATV 3rd generation, no tones over 12K. I’m not sure if the ATV 3rd gen can send the tones or the AVR. The AVR specs say it goes to 20K.
@@machavez00 interesting! I guess we need to try multiple types of gear for a proper reproduction!
Thanks for the headache. 🤣🤣🤣
;-)
Ha ha ha
20000Hz, i can notice the difference between analog and digital media (usually the latter is better) in technical terms. MP3, OGG, AC3's compression algorithms are very noticiable for me.
Reel to Reel tapes never have a flat frequency response but they are the closest to digital and can deliver magic for mixing thanks to subtle distortion and interesting dynamic compression.
You should try VHS HiFi, it's analogue but Frequency Modulated onto the tape, so it has a perfect frequency response.
18 years old, heard all of them!
Ooooh! Lots of distortion, not even a sine wave anymore, more like a distorted sawtooth or ramp wave. Will try my Sennheiser headphones, then direct output from DAC RCA connector on my Panasonic 60Mhz scope
In my headphones, I could feel the sound of the last two.
Listening via Safari, I could not hear anything above 14k Hz.
Switching to Chrome, I hear all the frequencies.
Results...100% correct..ALL identified correctly.
I am 64 years of age.
Bravo!
I heard Up to 14.000hz. I'm 48 years old.
6000hz - left.
8,000hz - right.
10,000hx - right.
12,000hz - left.
14,000hs - left.
And that's where my actual hearing cut off at 34 years old. But i will caveat that with there is; a heater running, a cat snoring, a computer running, and someone walking around upstairs, so i may, possibly, if i had total silence be able to hear 16,000hz, but i definitely cannot hear above that.
This also gave me as terrible headache, but i knew that was a risk going in.
And, the funny thing is I've been to hard rock concerts and my preferred musical taste is hard rock and metal because they tend to have lower tones imho.
