Hearing Test
June 12, 2006 on 9:34 pm | In Physics |Here is a site that has a bunch of mp3s of different frequencies. You can use these to determine your audible frequency threshold. With my desktop speakers I was able to hear up to 17 000 Hz. Putting on my headphones allowed me to hear up to 23 000 Hz.

I powered out at 13,000 Hz(on $20 computer speakers).

hey more on this. you will find this interesting.
At my house i have small rack mount bright high intensity lights that project to the wall from the ceiling. they are not incandcent, i think they might be flourescent but they look more like hallogens.
Anyway, none of that matters.
Sound.
The sound that these lights make when i turn them on is a high=pitched squeel, v. v. high frequency. So i dont turn them on.
however, one day my parents came over, and entered the room. they turned on the lights and sat down and started to have a conversation.
“don’t you hear that” i asked
“hear what?” they both asked.
“serious….”i replied
“yes…hear what?”
**
so ever since then i have been testing people. Some people hear it. others think i am insane.
to this date there are only 4 other people that have heard it.
I tried it on tempest.
nope he could not hear it.
I cant remember if emerson heard it or not.
anyway, i think that our ears are allowed to take in different frequencies but our brains can only interpret a select range of freq.
much like our eyes. but that is a different story.
