Hearing Test
2011-04-11, 2:18 PM #1
This is a hearing test that ranges from 20Hz to 20Khz. I could hear a little over 20Hz all the way to 17Khz, then the sound went away. How about you guys?

Sorry, don't know how to play this video :(

I got to over 16 kHz, but my speakers are theoretically only rated to 15 kHz.

I could hear everything from the start to the end of the video.

Because there is literally no sound in the video a little past 16 kHz.

Fail test is fail. Someone forgot that compression will ruin tests like these. It sounds like it drops off at 17khz because it DOES. Easiest way to see that in action is to open win7's volume mixer and watch the volume level as it gets close to 17khz. The volume drops out.

Yeah there's literally no sound there after 18khz.
nope.

"Because of the encoding used during the audio preparation, tests above 18 kHz are not very reliable."
