Test your hearing range! A series of pure sinewave test tones covering the audio spectrum from 20 Hz to 22 KHz, each preceded by a vocal announcement giving the frequency of the following tone. Tones created in Cool Edit Pro. PLEASE:- 1) Download the file, don't try the test using the Freesound preview. 2) You need a decent quality sound card/interface or you may well be hearing false sub-harmonics at the top end of the test.

It's all about the speakers ... at a higher volume, I can hear up to 19 Khz, after downloaded the sample. At a lower volume I could only hear up to 16 Khz.

With the earbuds which come standard with an iPhone, I can hear up to 17kHz and nothing above. I am 35 years old. I tried to get my infant daughter to express to me whether she could hear or not but no luck.

i could hear up to 16khz. but the hardest to listen to was from 2.4khz to 4khz...it made my brain vibrate:-D....and i think that its just normal for the human ear to hear from about 10hz to 15,5khz-16,5khz.
