Online Hearing Test – Ultrasonic Frequencies
We’ve come up with a simple online hearing test to check your ears’ ability to hear the Mosquito Ringtone. Try out the hearing test and see the results, we tried to be humerous when we came up with the various results that may appear!
Here is a sample of the results from the test:
|
You Can Hear It!
|
|
You got ears and you can use them! You hear high frequency sounds like the Mosquito and electronic devices turning on.
The highest frequency you can hear is: 17khz |
| You can find out your audio hearing range at The Mosquito Ringtone and see how well you can hear |
Try it out and put the results badge on your profile or blog!
What do you think of the audio test?
We decided not to include the very upper end range of the ultrasonic frequencies in our hearing test, if you want to check your hearing on tones above 18khz, please see the full list of Teen Buzz, the Ultrasonic Mosquito Ringtones.

I’m 40 years old, and I can hear all of the ringtones, including the 22,000 hz. Are you guys sure your ringtones are alright?

I cant hear half of them, is it my speakers?

Well I’m 43 and the highest I could hear is 12000. I’ve felt my hearing was going and it now I’m sure it is. I think they work.

i could hear the 18khz and im 15 years old as well as my younger sister which is 10 years old. i tested my parents they could hear only the 12khz. It WORKS!!!

I just took the test with my 8 and 9 year old children, and they could hear all while i could only hear up to 12,000. Sounds like (or doesn’t) its true.

I’m 35 and I could not hear the 14khz or above (which says 49 and younger) … my hearing has always been well above average and I still think it is for some things – I thought this website was a scam or it was a problem with my computer or speakers, I tried it on 3 computers, 2 speaker systems and a pair of expensive headphones and there’s ZERO sound at 14khz and above – I brought in my 12 and 9 year old and both of them COULD hear up to 18khz with no problem (which really pisses me off since they can’t ever hear us tell them when it’s time to clean up or go to bed) … I think that the ages are NOT accurate here, but I also honestly believe that these ringtones would work 100% providing the cell phone can replicate the frequency … this sucks for all adults! but makes me wish I had something like this when I was a teenager – bravo to the scientists that worked this out

I can hear 18 khz or above in normal speaker but
if i put the sound at max with my 2 speaker ( logitech x-240) i can hear 20 khz a little. at max power 18 khz and less are dangerous for me it hurt lol.
the teen buzz ….. is at 95 db and its say its for people under 20 …. but i can clearly hear that fucky annoying things .
Its strange … i have 31 years old and im not a teen .
the gouv. must ban the teenbuzz its hurt people.

Yeah…I’m 40 and I could hear everything except the 17khz (odd i think). I guess it is just a matter of the individual’s hearing and a generalization of the age groups. The 17khz I couldn’t hear jack shizz but my 21 and 23 year old co-workers heard it loud and clear. LOL…I’m dying laughing over here and givin’ the high 5 to whoever brought this one out into the open.

I love these things, i can hear 8-16 loud and clear as well as the 18. the 16 and 18 makes my head fall to my knees because its just so immobilizing to me. On some speakers i can hear the 21 and i think 22, the 21 makes me drop to the floor instantly. thank you who ever made these… i enjoy um but i cant use them in class because people may wonder why I’m twitching.
February 17th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I could hear all of them
and im fifteen.. i think it works
my mom could barely hear any lol
i tried playing them all at the same time :S
the sound was messed!!!!

I tried the test and I clearly heard all the tones above 16kHz.
The problem is that when it came to tones between 7-15 kHz I heard nothing at all.
Are you sure that the test is OK?
March 11th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
im 16 and i could only hear down to the 16mhz lol

I am 18 years old and I can hear up to 18kHz. I thought all of this was a joke, I figured there was no way anyone could NOT hear these because to me they are so high-pitched and painful. I feel like my brain is going to bleed out my ears. My sister can’t hear above 15kHz and shes 12 and my mom can’t hear above 14kHz. This is so cool that it actually works.

Part of the challenge of this test’s validity would be how well your speakers or soundcard is able to reproduce high-frequency sounds. My iPod headphones go up to 21kHz, but I kinda doubt my ancient Labtec speakers are able to reproduce the highest tones in this test… or I’m going deaf.
You kids get off my lawn!

im only 13 and i can only haer up to 17.4kHz
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:00 pm

It has nothing to do with age, I know a 67 year old that can hear all of them loud and clear and I know multiple people under 18 that can only hear like 2/3 of them. I am 20 and I can hear all but the last two and oddly enough the first one.
October 9th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I’m 13 and I like can nott hear the last three!!! What the Hell????

I am 15 and can only “hear” up to the 17KHz however, I can “feel” 18KHz between my eyes as well as detect it with my ears. (It doesn’t actually register as sound but more like the sensation in the ears felt/heard by tinnitus sufferers.) Also I’d like to mention that the 14-16KHz causes severe pain for me to listen too and are argueably the loudest sounds I’ve ever heard. (And that’s with my speakers turned down to 33, about 15 volume units lower than normal (I’m sorry I can’t relate that to dB) and roughly three or four feet away from my head. Now I have a question for the creators of this test, why did you not go all the way up to 20KHz? I’d like to see the maximum frequency my body can even detect. Plus I’d also suggest creating an infrasonic hearing test as I am fairly sure I can hear below 15Hz, which is generally considered the lowest audible frequency for most humans according to my research.

im 14 i can only hear the first 2

I am 45.
I run some tests with different earplugs/headset and software/website and got different results.
With cheap headset testing on Ear Test(freeware) I stopped hearing sound after 13500HZ. Then I use my far superior earplug and I hear everything. I did this with the lowest vol 1 in the program and my windows 7 volume maxier at 50.
Similar results testing at http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/hearingloss.html.
The funny thing with the jimmy website is the faintest sound for me is with the 20000hz sound and not the 22000hz. Maybe Jimmy is playing a trick, swapping the 22000hz sample sound under 20000hz.
At 45, I shouldn’t be hearing those above 15000, generally speaking.. I only read enough today online about my supposedly hearing range for my age. I did a hearing test at the doctor’s not too long ago and they did say my hearing was good but didn’t ask if it was good for my age or good good.
