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.

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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 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.
