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.

I got up to 17khz. I'm 20, a DJ, and a producer. I used Audio Technica ATH-pro5ms headphones rated 15-28Khz on a low volume. The standard hearing range is 20-20Khz AT BIRTH. high frequency perception degrades as you get older. Going deaf is my biggest fear. I'm going to order some full spectrum ear plugs! you all should too!!!!!
