Which ones can you hear? I can hear all of them except the very last one. ( I'm 14, 15 beginning of August)

My dog was going nuts and shaking!

State your age and which ones you can hear!

 

[Bj]

I couldnot hear anything above 16khz.

18

 

[Whatu]

Im deaf above 19 kHz.. im 19 too

 

[to be]

Well, I heard them all

 

[Missioncmdr]

I could not hear anything above 16 kHz and I am 17. Could it be possible that my speakers are not designed for frequencies that high?

Either way, that has got to be the worst ringtone I have ever heard.

This was weird, I could hear all the ones from 8 to 16khz (which is what I should expect, I'm 25), but for the other ones, when I raised the volume, I still heard something! However what I heard couldn't have possibly been the actual tone, as the tones sounded deeper, I must have heard some type of resonant tone.

Seriously? I love it, because the teacher can't hear it! The rest of the kids are like "What IS that???"

Yeah, you can hear the low buzzing noise, thats normal. My mom could hear it too, you just have to turn the volume up

I can hear all from 8kHz to 22kHz. I used my headset (13€, best one I ever had!) on a very bad AC97 laptop chip.
I am 23, enjoy very loud bass driven music via good speakers (preferably 20"+ sub) and this headphones (they have a very nice bass boost).
I served 23 months in the army, most of it in the artillery and had a mission in kosovo, so I got a lot of training shooting in.
I watched Germany vs. Portugal about 4 hours ago, so my ears are not used to fine listening.
I have very good sight in dark situations (seriously, where most people say it is pitch black I can even make out basic colors). Maybe this is somehow linked to my hearing.

edit: I adjusted the volume to be comfortable at 8kHz

I had my teacher play one of those ring tones in class. Even though the teacher cannot hear it, every single student sat up rigid looking around for the noise. :lol: Its really obvious that the phone is ringing.

 

[Jebusy]

yeah...head all of them...the hardest 1 to hear was 17 4 me which is weird cos thats in the middle...any way you should try click em all at once..sounds crazy

 

[n0mad23]

That made my teeth hurt. I'm 47 and can hear up to 20kHz. Strange that I can hear 20 better than 18.

 

[Andy44]

I'm not exactly a spring chicken and I could hear up to 16kHz (30 or younger) out of my PC speakers, and I had to crank up the volume to get the last one. It's wierd, not really a noise, but more like a strange pressure on your ear drums. Maybe if I use my headphones I can make it out better.

 

[Linguofreak]

I can hear up to 18 KHz, but the highest that I can really hear without having to listen very carefully is 17.4.

Age 21

I get low(er) pitched resonances off of 20 and 21. It's also interesting the resonances you can get by playing two at once. (Which could be a way for authority figures to catch the use of such ringtones. Pick an ultrasonic frequency well above what the students can hear. Play that on a specialized speaker. When a phone goes off with such a tone, you get a resonance between the phone's tone and the ultrasound tone at a frequency the teacher can hear).

For all my youthful rebelliousness, these ringtones, while impressively clever, make me a bit mad, with all the disrespect they show for authority. (And the purported origin of the tones that the site gives isn't any better, originally used by certain establishments that didn't want teens around to drive them away with an irritating noise).

I couldnt hear 22
And I am 16

On the contrary, I love disrespect for authority! What makes me angry is that they assume only younger people are expected to have said disrespect. I find that the older I get the less interested I am in doing what I'm told or having to suffer fools based on their rank and position.

Ya gotta stop listening to that there devil music, Elvis and the Beatles rot yer soul, kid! :lol:

 

[jedidia]

are you sure this stuff is working correctly? Because I didn't hear anything above 12 khz, and 12 I heard without a problem. Now this wouldn't astonish me too much since I started drumming at 14 and am doing it now for 14 years, but my wife didn't hear anything above 12 either, and that's rather strange...

I find that the older I get the less interested I am in doing what I'm told or having to suffer fools based on their rank and position.

quite natural phenomenon. In switzerland, where you start military service at 20 and then have to do it a few weeks every year until around 40, you definitaly notice the difference. While at 20 you still allow them to treat you like a dog, at 30 you have no problem anymore to tell your officer to stuff it when he is having strange ideas of grandeur.

 

[Biscuit]

Hmmm ... I must be more deaf than I thought. I can only really hear up to the 12khz.

But, now I know approx what frequency my tinitis runs at ... about 11khz ... everything was silence above 12k until I got to 22k, still couldn't hear it, but the tinitis damped down and had what felt like pressure on my head like when you dive a few feet under water.

Really, really odd.

I blame that Ozzy/Metallica concert from my younger years.

:blink:

 

[Notebook]

Nothing above 16kHz, age 56.

N.

 

[tblaxland]

Nothing above 14kHz, age 33

I blame that Ozzy/Metallica concert from my younger years.

Ditto.

 

[C3PO]

Darn! My doc was right. I DO have good hearing. It must be the listening part that's damaged. :lol:

I'm 41 and heard every one of those.
Bit odd really. From what I've heard whistle engine room staff and musicians are most likely to get hearing problems (the Faroes don't have an army) and I'm in both those groups.:blink:
