How High of a Sound Frequency Can You Hear?

Test how high you can hear and get free ultrasonic ringtones to fool your teachers and parents.

highest i can hear is 15.8 and im 20 years old...
idk if thats good or not

I could hear up to 21.1.

Go to the get results section below the first chart to see where you stand.

I got to 21.1

I got to 21.1 also.

I had to turn my speakers up though.

The mosquito device was made for the likes of you. You are probably begging to make the noise stop!

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 18.8kHz

That's at normal volume.

If I crank my speakers, 21.1 is me also.

I could hear up to 17.7kHz at normal volume. but man..that was annoying. almost like the ringing in my ears.

Me too. My eyes were watering...ahh that actually hurt! Now I know how dogs feel when they hear high pitched noise. I could hear 18.8 when i turned it up some but now my ears won't stop ringing!

I can hear 95dbs.. dunno what that is in Hz.

Decibels measure volume, and 95 is pretty loud if I remember right. Hertz measures frequency.

I got to 17.7 before it quit. I could hear the speakers popping to life after that, but I don't think it counts.

someone in my school use to set the printer to a really high pitched sound that the teachers couldn't hear, but no one knew how to change it except for him, so all the kids would flip out on him and the teachers had no idea what they were talking about

I could hear 15.8 with my speakers cranked.

21.1 kHz is as much as I could hear.

I showed my mom and she could only hear up to 10. How sad is that??

15.8 with volume all the way up....the price I'm paying for all those concerts years ago.

For everyone that maxed out at 21.1k, that's probably not the top of your range. But their audio file for 22.4k is empty.

I don't know if that's on purpose, or maybe their MP3 codec just can't handle that frequency, but there's nothing there. You can open it up in an audio editor and verify for yourself.

That was part of a joke. Go lower on the page and select that result on the 'Hearing test results' part and then submit it. It calls you a liar because of the lack of sound.

I'm at 15.8 too. Apparently everyone over thirty here is limited to that peak.

This was pointed out to me recently, but computer speakers aren't the best way to test a frequency, due to the noise of the internal transformer. Distinguishing between the two at lower frequencies is easy, but the two can easily be mistaken for each other at, say, the 21.1kHz range.
