i heard a little odd sound after 15 500hz before goes silent
My spectrograph too
Yes, this indeed is a headphone/speaker test too. My iPod earbuds seems to get up to 17500 or so.
How can you not like this video? Super useful for testing your speakers.
because what's sounding in the video isn't the frequencies shown in the screen.
I had to pause it in a panic. Thought my computer was going to explode.
Candychan2012 this remind me of the THX deep note except there are a lot of frequencies going down and up to perform accord.
I ran it through an oscilloscope, and sound goes back DOWN at 12,000, then back up at 15,000 (but it is NOT 15,000!) then stops at 15,500 (which is NOT even close to 15,500. Great idea, horrible test.
:-)
UA-cam audoi compression. I never expected to be workung above 12-15kHz and it proved to be true :-) You need uncompressed audio file for this kind of test, wav or something. Best testing is a frequency generator + speaker, anyways.
UA-cam cuts frequencies at 16,000Hz.
**TRUE** WFT?!?
Actually I could hear at 18,500, sooo...
Arvid Karlgren whatever you say man
@@knightxmagecastandcrew1219 I'm 50 and it cuts off at 12000 but then I can hear a different kind of tone clearly up to 18,000, then silence
Arvid Karlgren I’m pretty sure it cuts out at 18,000 actually. Maybe look at the facts before you say something rude next time.
I think that I can actually hear pretty much all of the entire band of the frequency here.
OVER 9000!
You need to make sure both your tweeters & electronics can even get beyond 12Khz before you assume you've 'lost' your hearing. A spectrum analyzer app for your phone may be needed to make sure the frequencies above 12Khz are even being generated with your computer (Creative?) speakers. Even if you do find out that you've lost your hearing. Practice listening to sine waves up and beyond your hearing range, and your ears will become retrained to the higher frequencies again.
sound dies at 16 khz
*UPDATE:* if you put the video at 1080 hd quality, the sound will die at 15500 :D
Many I am weird but I herd it until 16000 I know that that is not right because I showed some people this and they got to 15500?
O.O you have got good hearing
Same!
kindbloodedArlanna and there's a funny cricket chirping noise as well.
I suppose we all need to go search for a .wav, .flac, or .ogg file elsewhere on the internet :-/
+kindbloodedArlanna Oh thank god I thought I was just deaf.
Not only are there limitations to UA-cam videos that's stopping the audio from going above 15.5-16K but there are also limitations to the equipment you're playing the audio from. Eg. some headphones/speakers might nerf higher frequencies than a certain frequency. The professional tests probably use equipment that has a flat (or as flat as it can be) frequency response.
UA-cam cuts off at 16kHz. It sometimes cuts off even lower due to sampling rate issues. Nobody can hear anything after 15500Hz ^^
15500 dies for me. 23 years old
+Queen B Me neither m8
Queen B Happens to everyone due to audio compression.
Same age same dead stop to the sound at 15500 I'm sure it's some youtube or equipment thing or a mlot of trolls on here.
Me too. I am 11
It's due to either mismatched drivers or ears. Most probably mismatched drivers as the frequency response of each driver is slightly different.
It's fine :)
This is good for giving you a rough idea if anything is wrong with your hearing. But keep in mind that most headphones surrender to high frequencies and play acoustic artifacts where you hear stuff in ranges that you would be deaf to.
It's the video itself because of UA-cam compression. The sound cut out after 15.5 khz in the 360p version of this video. In the 1080p version it still cuts out later, but it goes past 15.5 khz.
That was epic
15600 too , 13 years
My ears are like that too around 4000 Hz. At first I thought one of my headphone speakers was wonky, but I confirmed it with other speakers. What can I say, sometimes ears have different frequency response curves.
Using a laptop made in 2011, cheap and partialy broken headphones and some software called Profound Sound, I could hear the entire thing. At any rate, there was noise coming out when it said 20000
Watching on 1080p; my soundcard is starting to go out around 17k. The signal is halved around 18.3k, according to the oscilloscope.
same i think utube cutts off anything past 15.5k
It climbs through the low frequencies very quickly then crawls through the upper ones. The frequency rate display is too coarse at the high if you're trying to test where your hearing range drops off, so it's not great for EQ calibration or hearing testing, unfortunately.
1:19
End time for Apple headphones
OVER 9000!!! Which is right at 15k
100 Hz to 16 kHz
A lot of it could be UA-cam's dreaded audio compression.
At 360p it cuts out at 15.5 khz he's right. At 1080p it probably cuts out too at some point below our hearing threshold, but it definitely goes past 15.5 khz.
I heard everything
Is this sound panning from left to right at some frequencies or are my ears going nuts ?
If the audio pans left to right within every 1kh, does that mean my ears are out of sync?
My bad, actually you just need to up the quality of the video to hear higher frequencies ^^.
360p -> nothing after 15500Hz
480p or higher -> can only hear up to 17kHz (therefore can't tell if there is a difference between 480p and higher qualities..)
I'm 25 years old and I lost the sound at 4kHz... Very sad about that... :'(
Heard my phone speaker cut out with a little 'blip' at about 15000hz, there were a few holes too... Not sure if deaf at those frequencies or phone couldn't play the sound
This is a useless exercise to test high frequency hearing, as youtube compression cuts off audio from 16khz.
Snowdenbleep Yup.
I can still hear it ringing at 19khz
ya no
after 16 no sound
Very speaker dependent, too.
UA-cam blocks really high pitched frequencies. That is why there is a max of 1600 cutoff
El oido humano puede llegar a escuchar hasta 18Khz en los mejores casos teniendo en cuenta varios factores que pueden llegar a variar tales como estado de animo,temperatura ambiente,estado gereral de audición de la persona y lo mas importante entre otras muchas es que tu reproductor y altavoces sean capaces de reproducir esas frecuencias tan altas
17k woohoo! watch in 1080p you seriously must or you will get cut off at like 15.5k in every video you watch!
Little information: on UA-cam you only can hear max. 16.000 hz because it is the highest frequence that you can hear on UA-cam ^^
Guys, you can only hear so high of a frequency depending on your age, i heard untill 17750Hz
dude your fine i couldn't hear past 16000 wither
hmmm, at about 18.3 or 18.4 kHz I was starting to feel unsure whether I was actually hearing the sound or just compression artifacts
UA-cam compresses it and cuts at ~15kHz (and that is in 1080p, otherwise 13kHz). A good speaker would do 20Hz-20kHz flat. That rarely happens, and only in expensive 3/4 way speakers and earphones; A more realistic approach would be 40Hz-18kHz Flat. People after 30 or 40 cannot hear over 16-18kHz anyway. It doesn't matter if it does if it's 5Hz-25khz +/- 10dB speaker is worse than a 20Hz-20kHz +/- 3dB one. You could always use a cheaper 3way speaker and calibrate it with pink noise & an EQ...
On the single frequency videos, I can hear up to 17,400 but on this one my hearing cuts out at 16,000. What's different?
after 16500hz windows didn't detect there was any sound playing
My sound is ALL the way off and I can still hear it Omfg xD
Male, 28, stopped hearing anything around 18500 (with fancy Shure SE425 earbuds). Note that this is not just a test of your hearing but also your speakers or headphones. With Brookstone retractable earbuds that sound muddy I got up to 17500. With Koss UR-40s I got up to 18000 but it had a hole (!) around 3800, though these headphones sound *excellent* IMO. HP laptop w/ Altec Lansing speakers in it went up to about 16000. I'd test iPod pack-in earbuds but I can't seem to find 'em right now.
As always due to the audio compression UA-cam cuts out around 14000 khz
I'M STILL HEARING THE SOUND😧😧
48 years and between 13-14khz
Only heard until 15000. I'm 12, I could stand it!
1hz - 930hz good, dead until heard again @ 165hz till the end
UA-cam compress cuts all frequencies above 16kHz....
After 17,500, it just faded away.
I can hear all
do you ever listen music very loud?
i got to 15000 i I pause the video and I can still hear it
Male 18, 18750 Hz. Surprising to me. And you need a high quality sound system to do this
All the way to 2000
this is helpful rats under our sink never commin back because of this sound play it spontanously.
What about the speakers? I'm not sure how far normal speakers go, but what if the max of your speakers is 15kHz? You wouldn't hear anything after all, wether UA-cam compressed it or not.
Or am I talking bullshit at the moment?
Frequency response of headphones is intentionally not linear at high frequencies, and normally falls off steeply after 10k including HD800. You're fine.
18k
I heard it till 20000 HZ!
You need to do this over and stop where UA-cam cuts off.
I could hear it at 20000 with more static than the previous, Ive tried other tests on yt and I got until 18000, I have different results everytime lol. I'm not sure what result is reliable
Try putting the video on 1080p.
13 years old
and I could hear up to 18500
My right ear is ringing for two weeks and sounds die at 0:42 seconds (9000hz) and I'm 38. What's wrong with my right ear? My doc said I have an acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss but I don't think so. My left ear is just fine and sounds die at 16000hz.
At midpoint of 13000-14000, I lost the sound. Except at 1:18 for the cricket chirp.
I have individual tones on my channel, just search "8000 Hz Sine Wave Frequency Tone" :)
heard up to around 15,000
RIP speakers
I can hear all the way through the sound
@TheStfn1986 it very well may be though
13 years old and 18500
Man I could hear a faint noise until 19400
on my tablet I put my ear up to speaker, 20k is hearable if you have young ears just very quiet. I'm 12
It went completely silent after 15000 I'm only 13 years old
16000 hz (22 yrs), I think... It also depends on what type of speakers or headphones're using.
i can hear at 17500Hz and dies at 18000
what is the meaning?
19 years and 15000.. am I supposed to be worried? :/
After testing the 1.18 seconds of audio that had cut 15,500 Hz are tricks to this test as a Friend
Put in 1080p
19500Hz I'm 26 years with clarion DJ1000
19000 14 years old
Is it only me but I still hear a really high tone in my ears at 18k...
Louis Brandon OMG me too everybody is calling me a liar
Oh 17750 on kitsound hive before it goes silent
I need to find a way to get the sound at around 8000, to my proton pack...
astra a30 gaming headset 16500Hz. with a creative soundblaster x-fi titanium.
Heard up to 18000
16k.
20.000 kHz
I'm 17 I heard it till 18000
i heard entire thing
at 17yrs old... should be better but it's not the end of the world. See an ENT doctor make sure you have no damage. If you don't then keep listening to 15k upwards for a while and see if it improves.
15500. 17 yrs
other videos also cut at 16k
but ive done frequency tests and i could here up to 19
Nope. You are correct. UA-cam, sound card and speakers/earphones all have an effect and can limit it.
