      ***** I've already used a spectral analysis on this video. It doesn't exist. As I said before, what you are hearing is a lower distorted sound. The audio codec can't encode such high frequencies. You have to listen to uncompressed/lossless compressed sound files (WAV, FLAC etc.) in order to recreate frequencies that high.

      ​@diorsse probably, you should stop hearing it when you are old because you start getting slightly deaf. If you can't hear at a very young age, this may be a sign to bad audition.
      Pro tip: something very common for teenagers are headphones, cut them off, they are extremely prejudicial to your ears(my own experience) and even if you do then at least don't turn it up too much.
      Pro tip 2: after cutting off headphones and listening to music on lower volumes after a few weeks you should be slightly gaining your audition back, if don't then you should visit a doctor
      edit: I am no doctor, just someone with knowledge on the area, but you should visit a doctor anyways for him to keep up with your treatment or even to help you better than I can

I found this video after searching for what the hell was going on with the latest episode of Penn and Teller: Fool Us where P&T did a trick where they had children guess the colors of balls. They played a high-frequency noise when the pointed to the right color. I guess the idea was that only the children could hear the frequency, but it was loud and clear to me. Maybe I just have unusually sensitive hearing... it would explain why I get so supremely aggravated by noises... incessantly barking dogs, tapping, humming... basically anything can annoy me.

    I'm 29, and I had to put my headphones on to hear anything.
    It sounds just like a mosquito, it IS there. However. I doubt many people's speakers will be able to put this noise out. Your computer simply just isn't able.

    28 and still got it - I used to have this on my phone along with a few other class mates and we would spread out around class and play this - we're going straight to hell aren't we.
    Also I think youtube is messing with this in someway as it's no where near as intrusive as it should be - perhaps I'm just hearing my headphones "flutter"

      Fun stuff. The reactions are really fun when some people think it's unbearable, while others wonder what the hell they are talking about. I can hear this frequency my self, but it doesn't bother me very much (reagardeless if it's a "clean" tone generated by a signal generator or sound editor or this more noisy version).
      UA-cam have indeed messed with it though. The high frequency is still there (at least it isn't partially of fully filtered out, as in many other of these videos), but it has become more noisy (a little more like a narrow band noise than a steady tone) and there is also a little bit of distortion that causes noise at much lower frequencies.
      This is a serious problem if this is used as hearing test - because some people who don't hear the sound, may think they do, but hear that low frequency garbage instead.

    It's very faint, but I can hear it. I'm 23, so I guess that means I haven't attended enough concerts yet? Holy fuck, now I can't get a high pitched noise out of my ears! Damn it!

      34 and I hear it. That's despite hearing damage caused by excessively discharging firearms since I was 11, without ear protection, and half a decade of running a chainsaw(3/4 of the time with ear protection with the chainsaw tho). It sounds like an old dial-up modem during the "connecting" phase.

    I am 30 years old and I can hear this. Funny thing I could not hear 10,000 hz on "Brain Games", the TV show that brought me here. Guess it depends on audio quality too.

    • @scottbitz5222
      @scottbitz5222 Рік тому

      and compression. Don't forget that TV, YT, etc all compress audio so it's likely this and others aren't actually a "x kHz sample" but a close representation and you'd need a lossless file (wav, flac, etc) generated from a DAW to actually test it yourself.

    If you're over 25 and hearing it, try a lower frequency say ~15000 Hz and see if that sounds higher to you. If it does, you're not hearing the audio, just some wonkiness with your speaker.

  • @jeanp9200

    hI, i know for shure i cannot hear above 15khz, but here i can hear the 17.4khz tone, so there may be aliasing. I tested my hearing last month myself (profesionals in medicine don´t test hearing above 8khz, maybe because it´s what any healthy human regardless off age can and should hear, I´m 40 but even not beeing exposed from ear damaging levels all my lige, 15khz is at the top off my hearing at 40 years old, whem I was younger could hear uo to 17khz to the point the sound of and old TV set (15khz was very annoying for me at 15 yeard old) anybody almost my age have had the same expirience. say a 40 to or 50 years old male ? Maybe someone in the commentary section can tell his expierience with this and other tests. I have always used ear protection. even when i was a in my teens, rarely , for economic reasons, went to almost any major live concert. My job is a quiet place, no machines or other noises, just pure coincidence 40 to 50 dB top tested with my phone, not accurate but a reference. I was lucky to get a quiet office most of my adult life. I enjoy music and i´,m almost a so called Audiophile with no so much money to burn, but have decent nice audio system at home, play both vinyl records, CD´s., files from different sources. streaming. also I play guitar, bass and keyboard, I use ear protection at rehersals or jams with my friends. It´s important to take care off yout hearing as any other human system. I can´t stress this enouh, my son doesn´t get it so he allready suffers from Tynnitus at 18 years old. It´s a shame, but I can´t do nothing about, he left home at 17 so....anyway is his life and his choices.

    I suspect this clip is silent or very quiet: While the clip is playing, click the speaker icon in the task tray - On my end, no green bar is shown. Normally it's a dancing green bar during music playback or a solid green bar with a tone generator. However, if I open up a tone-generator website and generate a 17400Hz tone, I do get a green bar in the volume control.
    Then again, I cannot hear a 17400Hz tone. I clearly hear a 15625Hz tone (which a PAL CRT generates) despite being 33. 16500Hz is roughly as high frequency I can hear.
