      @@scrums4748 that's not how phase works, you're describing artifacting which can happen in the audio file itself, not because of the speaker it's played through, if the audio has no artifacts the speaker won't magically make them appear. phone speakers can easily play up to 20khz

  • @NickNeblo
    @NickNeblo Рік тому +79

    UA-cam AAC codec 192kbps for HD will cut all frequencies above 19khz and gradually reduce those between 19khz and 17khz similarly to a low pass (high cut) filter. Worse if you watch 480p or lower, the audio will be AAC 128kbps with a similar cut from approximately 18khz to 16kh. For them to claim 20Hz to 20,000Hz is simply impossible. Their original uncompressed file will have that range. Once uploaded to UA-cam those frequencies I mentioned are lost or reduced in signal. They should put a link to a WAV file for us to listen to the full range 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Anyway most people don't hear beyond 18khz so it's a good test anyway.

Then, I played a 500 hz test tone and discovered an antenna touching the TV mount was what created the rattling. I moved the antenna away from the TV mount which eliminated the rattling. THANK YOU!

    I love the sound from 50-120, it sounds like that moment right before the plane starts to move!
    The excitement and anticipation for your holiday to start after you've gotten up at 5.30 to get to the airport on time. You've waited in ques for 3 hours to get through customs. You made it to the gate and sat there for another two hours, waiting for the monotone voice of the P.A. system to announce your flight. Then you actually get ON the plane and wait some more, while it's sitting on the runway for late passengers and last minute checks.
    Then the flight attendants come round and ask you to put your seat belts on...
    And then that low hum, as thoughts of your plans and your destination start swirling, each one taking up more and more space in your head -
    You're jolted into your seat. You're moving. It's happening.
    There's more runway behind you than before you.

      @TerrifyingBird 3 роки тому +20

      Sorry to break that illusion for you, but what you are hearing is mostly the frequency response of the equipment you are using. If you are using headphones, then the differences you hear among the two sides is most likely to be the headphone drivers that are not perfectly identical (it's a very common occurrence with headphones; sometimes brands try to actively match the drivers, but even then often it is not perfect). Yes, if you have perfect headphones/speakers then you would start to notice the ear sensitivity, but that is usually quite regular, it doesn't really have peaks and dips: you start hearing around 20Hz, volume goes up, peaks in the middle, and more or less sharply cuts at some point above 10k, depending on how well you hear above that (it tends to decrease with age, starts at 18-19k and goes down).
      You will probably have some kind of different curve with every different thing you listen on: try a different pair of headphones or a different set of speakers! The relative difference is often huge!

      @@TerrifyingBird Both is the case. Headphones generally have a LOT of fluctuation... and yeah i heard several Focal headphones, none of them could be described as anywhere near flat... but they sure are well matched side to side... but also when you play through hypothetically-flat hifi or studio speakers, you should find the Fletcher Munson curve. Around 3.5-4 KHz there's going to be a notable hearing sensitivity peak with some fluctuations both sides of it, and this test signal isn't compensated for it. It tends to be further emphasised in headphones due to tight coupling between the speaker and the ear canal.
      Another thing i'm hearing is that there's aliasing at the end of the test beyond about 15k, it actually starts before but becomes predominant higher up, so the high pitches one is hearing, the are in part aren't really there, especially since humans basically lack the ability to distinguish any frequency above 16kHz from each other - even when ultrasonic hearing could be induced by bone conduction, no subject could be found that could tell the frequencies above 16.5 KHz apart, and i believe a physiological reason for that has been found too, but i forget what it was specifically. Though honestly i really don't care about response past 13k or so, i can hear to at least 17k, but i just don't care because there's in my opinion just no musicality to this range at all.
      Funny thing i'm here because i'm curious about monitor-style in-ears i bought from China for 2.60€ shipped - except i actually got them for free, because they got lost in the mail and so they reimbursed me, but then they did arrive after all, and they... are actually on the one hand among the best in-ears i've heard, very tolerable... but the channel imbalance... it's humongous! Was a bit too lazy to generate my own test signal or find where i saved one prior :D Honestly not too surprised about zero quality control at that price, but surprised that if i didn't get a lemon, they are comparatively flat-ish, extended and low-distortion. Also comfy.
      Also love my Yoga CD-68 and i don't care that there's a severe cancellation at 7KHz, they sound good overall. You also very much get used to whatever your preferred headphone signature and just stop noticing it that much when listening to music.

      What do you think why does a phone sound diffrent feom a car speakers
      because the frequency of the speakers in car is diffrent than in smartphone. Thats why so the the volume fluctuations are your speaker's frequency fluctuations. And if its so big that you notice tjem it means you have bad speakers 😁 an ideal speaker would not have any fluctuaion and be flat all the frequencies, or what we call studio monitors (speakers used in studio to create music)

      It's not always your hearing that's bad--and depending on your age, 15 kHz is pretty good.

I do have mild tinnitus, so I'm hoping there is a cure/improved treatment in 15-20 years.

      At 28, if you can hear 13 kHz you're probably all right. You should easily be able to hear T's and S's in conversation, and cymbals & hi-hats (percussion instruments) in music if played through a decent system.
      If you're using a smartphone, the frequency extremes probably won't get reproduced anyway.

    I can hear the whole thing, though the lowest made my stomach drop a bit.It's actually pretty at the top end, because it shifts tones like steps rather than the constant tone of the rest, sort of making a cool pattern of tones. It's high but I know I can hear higher than that, because my mom has this thing that emits a high pitched sound to stop her dog from barking at people when they approach the car. She said she used it once and now she doesn't even bother checking if the battery still works because just seeing it makes her stop. I asked what it sounded like and she said nothing, only dogs can hear it, so I pressed the button, and omg the piercing sound went right through my head. I don't like that kind of thing because I feel bad for the dogs, because it kills your ear, what an awful machine, no wonder it only took 1 time for her to learn.
