yeah, it will be your speakers, they probably don't go high enough, the pc speakers here at work are the same

this got me to wanting to test out my speakers and hearing...
so i came up with my own test.
it goes for 4Hz to 24kHz and it's a wave file, not mp3.
www.patrickdsp.com/audio/4Hz-24kHz.wav
it's not a steady stream, i kicked up a few notches where normal hearing lays. other wise this wave file would be way too long to share.
cheers

At least I hope it was the flu that made them ringing..??LivePA

the test is wrong. only babies are supposed to hear anything above 19 kHZ. I didnt come any further that 14kHZ last time i did a real test...and now i can hear 21.1...
Also these are mp3's...the compression from WAV to mp3 probably causes a so called mirror frequency, which is a lot lower than the actual tone. That's the thing we are all hearing!

Do you know what frequency is where in the track? I stopped hearing it at around 46 seconds. Originally Posted by DSP

I hear it clear until it sharply disappears for me at about 49.5 seconds on Patrick's test. Once again though.. I'm at the office. I wonder if the effect will chage on my Genelec's @ the studio.

I've got a big fat dip in my mid/high frequencies.
I blame the soundsystem in "The End"
Now I can't hear conversations when it gets crowded. Started lip reading again...

14-15 khz yeah... But that's in a real test, with no control over the volume...
If you can put it up as loud as you want you start noticing the tone at a certain point, but not really hearing it..
