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.

PROVE TO listen the tv when you listen to test :D

I just realized that the low-fi preview was slicing off a good range of frequencies. In the higher quality mp3 and over my iPod headphones (and fiddling with the volume), I can hear (faintly) from 30 Hz to 21 kHz! But my effective range is more like 40 Hz to 19-20 kHz I believe. :D
Pretty good to start with at 19 I think. And I'm trying to take preventative measures to protect my hearing like carrying earplugs/attenuators.
Is there a lossless version of this you could upload? It would be nice to know that all the frequencies are really there and aren't being discarded by the mp3 codec.

Does the volume have to be kept at the same level for all frequencies for it to be a valid test?
Or does it mean I'm deaf if I can't hear all the freq's at the same vol?
30Hz-17kHz - with same vol. 19 y/o
(Sub couldn't do 20Hz)

Is there a test that goes above 22? I'm still not having any difficulty hearing them xD Also, does volume factor in, if it's turned up high is that cheating :p?

I'm 15 and I can hear up to 20 kHz definitely, but my speakers crap out at 21 (which I know I can hear).
