How well can you hear?

There seems to be two problems in the accuracy of this.
One problem is that "Ultrasonic" means the sound above the hearing range of the human being, which is over 20KHz.
Second, the other problem has to do with Decibels (dB), or the level (or pressure) of sound for the ear to hear...of course if you turn up the volume loud enough you may eventually hear it, but I'm sure there is a set level to test at.
If you can hear the Flyback for the CRT on your tv, your tv is getting old, but it does run at about 19KHz. I can hear ours once in a while (hitting it on the side usually stops it), so it indicates to me that I've still got a bit left in my hearing range...just gotta be carefull with my iPod!

Ok, I finally remembered to check this when I wasn't vesting and nebbing. LOL

I cannot hear 22.4kHz at all! But I can still hear all of them up to and including the 21.1kHz. And I'm certainly not under age 20! So I'm not sure how accurate this site is. But it was fun! Or maybe my hearing is just THAT good! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I could only hear up to 17.7 with my volume turned all the way up... and up to 14.9 with it at the level I usually use to listen to music. I had a hearing test not too long ago; I wish I could remember what the results were for the different frequencies and volumes they tested to see how well it matches up with that site. Interesting nonetheless.

Also: very loud high pitched noises make my fillings hurt. Note to self: don't randomly click links with your speakers at the highest volume.

the main problem with this is regular storebought speakers can usually only play up to 19khz so anything above that may just be feedback you are hearing.
