Okay, I can hear all the up to 22k, but excluding 18k, I think due to the pitch, which is too low at the volume I was using (typical volume at which I listen to music). So, I don't know what that means, but evidently I'm not too bad.

With headphones, I go easily to the 22kHz.
No wonder why it's difficult to live in a noisy environment :?

It hurts. I hear only up to 15 kHz, but I feel a pain while listening higher frequences.

I don't see why this isn't scientific. It depends on the kinda speakers/headphones you have I suppose but if they make your speakers emit a sound of that specific frequency then its a decent test. I can't even hear above 15. OP you sure you're a human? The threshhold of human hearing is supposed to be 20kHz. How old are you OP? I'm 24, I can hear up to 15 but it hurts listening to 15. What about you are the sounds lower than 22 aggitating to listen to?

I can hear up to 21khz. I tried 22 a couple of times and it's less like I'm hearing it and more like pressure in my head
Ouch

EDIT: Oh no, I heard it after I went back to it. Does that count? IDK...

I listened again and can hear all of them with headphones. I can also hear them all if I turn up my speakers, but I think this annoyed my cats a great deal.

I got my mom to listen to them and she couldn't hear 14. I couldn't believe it, it was really loud and causing me a headache and she couldn't hear anything at all. It was bizarre but strangely amusing.

I'm just a complainer :lol: The noise seemed to stay in my head afterward though. It is unpleasant..
