That was the result from the hearing test at http://www.freemosquitoringtones.org/hearing_test/[^] I'm 37; the highest frequency I could hear was 14kHz. (37,14) Apparently I'm not a teenager anymore! Anyone here young enough to hear 18kHz?
Not me; the best I could clearly hear was 12kHz. I think I could faintly hear the 14kHz, but not over the 60Hz hum of the speakers on this PC. :(

Same here. I'm 47, and the highest I could hear was 12 KHz :sigh:.

Me. Some clever spark decided that it would be a good idea to put a Mosquito device by their house. Every time I walk past on the way to and fro from school, it activates. That's quite an annoyance (borderline painful), especially when there's only one or two people causing the problem

I'm sure my hearing's going but that's hardly suprising as I used to go to a live music venue nearly every night [^]. If you can feel your internal organs moving to the beat then it's probably loud enough. :-D

I believe that doing so is illegal, although I could be wrong. When businesses do it, I believe that they have to get permission, not sure if it's an actual licence. Anyway if it causes pain, I'd check with da fuzz/environmental health dept of Local Council. Bazooka their .... Oh no that's Verrucas ain't it?

Listened to too much loud music after a really loud sound that started my left ear ringing and it hasn't stopped since. When I go into a place playing loud music I always wear ear protection. It may look dorkey but if not my ear rings very loudly for a day or two afterwards.

Yes, and on the other page [^] there's 21kHz sample which I could hear :-\

(36,16 (17, using http://audiocheck.net/audiotests_frequencycheckhigh.php[^])) Ah, after considering the frequency response of the entire system, I think it's the crappy speakers in my laptop... Probably roll off enough near 17kHz. If anything, my lower mid range is going. With the above link, I the 17kHz was almost painful. My wife (same age as me) could only start hearing at 14kHz. Using the 48kSps sample, I was able to hear something above 19kHz, however it sounded lower in tone than the 17kHz, so I'm thinking my sound system is down sampling it to 22.5kSps and there are some aliasing issues.

Not sure about the first link, but the samples at the second link were sampled at 44.1kSps (kilo samples per seconds, as to not be confused with actual frequency content of the data), so anything above 22.05kHz is aliasing. Listening to the 40000Hz tone aliased back to 4000Hz (which is correct by Nyquist theroem, and my hearing), and the 44000kHz tone aliased back to 100Hz, which I couldn't hear, probably due to my crappy laptop speakers having rolled-off on the low end by 100Hz. Even funnier, their claim to play a prank on your dog by using the ultrasonic tones as ring tones on your phone wouldn't work. The speaker on the phone, for the ringer, probably only has an 11kHz bandwidth (hence why nothing has that high fidelity sound coming from it).

I guess I'm still good, 18khz really hurts.

that scared the shit out of me. First all I could hear was only the 8khz over the damn laptop speaker. any other frequency, I could not hear any thing. My blood pressure started to climb. I know I am not that deaf, but could not hear any thing except for the 8khz. Then I grabbed my headphone tried it again. That sounds much better, but it is weird, I can't hear the 14khz, but I can clearly hear the 15khz. :confused::~ 15khz @ 36 not bad :sigh:
Yusuf May I help you?
