Hover your mouse over the round orange icon and you'll hear a voice telling you the khz of the frequency playing in the background.

I can start to hear something just before the 17 khz mark.

Post your results and your age:

17 khz - 37 years old.

i'm a man. hearing isn't my problem, it's listening.

You didn't hear the counting at all? Try it again when you get home.

yep heard the countdown but that was distorted

17k, 32yrs old

OK what the hell am I doing wrong? I'm hearing it the whole way through the countdown from 22 onwards....am I not supposed to do this?

Oh I'm 33 btw...

Does it say the frequency before or after it plays that pitch?

I think the announcer says the frequency before it plays.

17k, 20something

I've gotta wait until after the U2 concert, which by the way is rocking.

I can't wait to see my results because I've always thought I had fantastic hearing.

I notice these high-ass frequencies being thrown off by the idling printer and computer monitors at work

At around 14 something attacked my ears.
I'm 37.

It's simultaneous. The pitch is in the background - I guess you finally heard it in the end though.

what?

I can hear it from the beginning and I feel old

I couldn't listen very loud & there are other noises around here, but
15k, 37 years old

I have read that men have less high frequency hearing than women

heard it just before 18k, 19 years old.

highly unpleasant to listen to

16k - 38 in November...

the sound didn't bother me at all..

16k 35yrs

I listened all the way to the end, I can still hear it

I am not sure what this means

I'm confused...do I have to turn up my volume all the way up for the results to be fair?

17k - 37.

18 k ~ 45.5 yrs old
