Highest Freq

[Velociraptor84]

What's the highest freq can you hear? I can hear up to 18kHz since I have good ears.

[Lancer]

Flat to 40 kHz for me. That's why JBL goes to the trouble of building all these super duper tweeters for me.

Thatz ackully hiyer then my IQ, but probly only 2/3 of yurs cuz U R so smart.

[Zilch]

Must be Hell listening to tape hiss and transistor noise all of the time....

[speakerdave]

How high? Shit, man, I can hear the angels singing! It's megHerz, man, megaHerz!

[Ian Mackenzie]

My old CRT TV set sings at 16.25 khertz and I can easily hear that.

It depends on air temperature and relative humidiy.

Just because you can hear that high doesn't mean you have good ears.

[yggdrasil]

I can't ever remember having heard anything above 17K. Maybe I'm just slow....

[Steve Schell]

My hearing gives out at about 14 kiloHertz. I could hear to about 17k 20 years ago, and the upper threshold has been creeping down slowly since then.

C'mon you over 50 guys, fess up. B`)

[morbo!]

ive worked in industry for 6 and
been in alot of night clubs and concerts and can still hit 16khz
but im only 33 kinda young for the forumite`s i guess
not to mention using a chainsaw (whats that constant ringing)not the phone?

hope after all that punishment they dont give out anytime soon!

i think altitude makes some diffrence
after looking at alot of people`s home town on the sat i notice alot of us live close to sea level !

Unless given a proper hearing test nobody knows whether they can hear a frequency above what their stereo system will reproduce and few people are truly sure of what that is. Said differently, it's possible your stereo is crapping out where you think your hearing is. (It is not a good idea either for you or your stereo to crank up the amp when playing sine wave test tones.) It has been stated many times that we are sensitive to frequencies both above and below ones that we can specifically hear. Build your system out as clean as you can and still have milk for your cat and then enjoy the music.
