I remember a kid having a teacher play this from their computer one in high school (early 2010s) and we were writhing on the floor and the teacher was convinced we were pretending but it was so painful! I'm so happy I can't hear it anymore! Yay deaf gain!
When will people learn that you can't hear frequencies like this on youtube!!! It is like the Emperor's new clothes. The audio codec removes high frequencies in order to save bandwidth. All you hear is a much lower distorted sound.
144Heartx you are not hearing it. You are hearing a distortion of the signal which has a much much lower frequency. I've seen a spectral analysis of it and it doesn't exist.
***** 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.
I could hear this perfectly until age 27, when I got a job where I was exposed to a lot of people screaming. Now I use it to annoy young people when they don't listen.
im 21 and i can hear it very well. idk if my headphones are amazing or not but definitely can hear it. i have very sensitive ears though, have to listen to audio pretty quietly.
45. Can hear with volume all the way up. It didn't irritate me. This is a good test to find out how sensitive your ears are. I always suspected I had Hyperacusis, with tests like these I now know my ears are still too "Loud"
@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
You don't hear it at 45 if you have to turn it all the way up. You just hear the harmonic distrotion. That's why you said it didn't irritate you, it's because it wasn't the actual frequency you were hearing. Sorry to break the bad news.
I'm 42 and I can still hear this frequency... it's very very faint but I can still hear it. 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.
"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." Me too.
I'm 36 and same. I have misophonia. Look it up. For me, it's mostly sounds people make with their mouths that drive me up the wall, especially loud, chewing, slurping, smacking noises. Squeaky styrofoam or the squeak of a straw going through a plastic lid is also like "nails on a chalkboard" to me.
This is not 17.4k, I can't hear 17.4k (unless I probably want to hurt my hearing), but I can hear this easily. My hearing range maxes out around 16k, and I'm using a DAW with a sine wave oscillator and spectrograph.
I agree. I think it’s possible that smartphones downshift the frequency to make inaudible sounds audible? This sound is clearly lower frequency than this 15khz sample: czcams.com/video/ITyKEf4bu0I/video.html
@@blackrockcity I don't know if they fixed the sample in this YT video or the other one because this one is clearly higher than that one as of 01/13/23 however, on other vids I can't hear over 16.5kHz.
The way youtube encodes the audio, the 17400 Hz sometimes gets converted into lower frequencies (lower but still high), so you might not be hearing the real thing. It also depends on what phone/computer youre using.
35 - can hear this clearly with a 50% volume boost over my standard listening volume. I start hearing it at +10% -- not talking in terms of db, idk if my volume pot is logarithmic or what, but that's my scale.
The video isn't entirely accurate. To hear it for real, open up Audacity, go to Generate>Tone, choose a sine wave, and enter 17400 Hz for the frequency.
Tried it with Audacity and it was loud and clear without headphones or turning the volume up past a normal comfortable listening volume. 43 years old. I guess that means I'm doing pretty good hearing wise? Hope so.
17.4khz also known as "The Mosquito" can cause hearing damage and/or trigger seizures as well as cause problems for animals please do listen to this with caution and keep your volume way down
43 years old here. I can here this very clearly without headphones or excessive volume. I can't tolerate it for more than a second, but I can hear it loud and clear.
I can hear it from headphones - but ones that are just laying on the table in front of me at age 37, haha (although I have a headphone amplifier with quite high output volume, it's still not much compared to using speakers). Although, I don't really get it why so many people think these sounds are so unbearable to listen to. I think for example a crying baby is way worse listening to, than this. But, this have lead me to some fun thru the years in for example schools and workplaces - playing high pitch tone or siren from a portable speaker (in most cases, not much output power at all is needed, since many people think it's so annoying even at very low volume) and it drives some people nuts, while others wonders what the hell they are talking about. Although, this frequency is too high in most cases. Most fun is usually something in the 12-15 kHz range that like 50% of people can hear easely, while those with bad hearing is put to shame, haha.
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.
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). CZcams 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.
I can barely hear it with the volume turned all the way up...when I was a kid I could hear a mosquito across the room, or hear if a TV was on just from the electronics humming from 2 rooms away, even if it was muted. Part of my hearing loss is age related, but a lot of it comes from flying. They don't tell you that flying can cause permanent hearing loss, but it can. My ears had really low tolerances when it came to pressure changes, until they became damaged enough that it was no longer a problem. My left ear is worse than my right and it was so bad after one flight that everything sounded like I was under water for weeks. BTW, for people with ears like mine, nothing helped equal out the pressure, chewing gum was a joke, and even really big yawns did not help. Really big yawns is what I do now that my eardrums are damaged and it works now, but my high frequency hearing which used to be amazing is completely gone. It is also enormously painful when the pressure builds up inside or outside of your ears and you can't equalize it. Kind of makes you think about what those babies that won't stop crying on planes are crying about doesn't it?
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.
I'm happy for all of you that your high frequency hearing is holding out. It's good to know that while our other sensing are failing, our high frequency hearing remains strong.
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.
@@greekmythdude9053 Dont worry im using akg buds to ear this and low volume i cant unless i put them little more volume yes. Everyone 18 and younger can hear this unless you used high volume headphones at such a young age which I don't recommend it over 5 hours.
You guys there is actually sound in this video. Trust me the frequency is very, verrrrrrry loud. I'm 14 and can hear this very well. But something strange is that every time i play this video i hear it differently. Right now the frequency is very loud. But sometimes when i pause it, wait 10 seconds, and play it again, all i hear is a low humming sound. Anyone know why?
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.
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.
I'm 31. Couldn't hear anything with my laptop speakers urned all the way up. Plugged in some high quality headphones with their own volume control, and I could hear a faint sound when I had the laptop volume and headphone volumes both turned all the way up.
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!
TheOttomon I did this test on CZcams and on a different site, and used volume control. No sound showed up on CZcams, where as the other site would show sound coming out of my head set. So no i dont think there is sound on this one.
I am 18 and can hear it but I also hear some other faint lower frequency noises in the background like one that sounds like a computer's cooling system.
Only people 25 years and younger suppose to can hear it. Taylor is 3 years old and said it’s too loud Lili is 5 years old said she only hear a little bit
I'm 36, and I didn't realize that I could hear something until I paused the video. That said, the sound I heard, might just be a noise my earbuds make when you run current to them.
39 here and cant hear it on my phone. Maybe I will give it a go on my pc with headphones. I have been a construction worker for much of my life, so no surprise if I just cant hear it
35 here, hearing it too. I am wondering if some of the older guys who are saying they still hear it are actually hearing the lower frequency noise that's also playing. As hearing this at our age is hella above average hearing, and mine fades at the high end of the 17000s.
WARNING, I think I burnt, not blown, my tweeters in my pioneer floor standing speakers :( . Do not turn your volume up trying to hear this stupid tone. Tweeters are rated 20khz, but I still smell a burnt smell :(
Damn. I turned it on, phone was at relatively low volume. So I moved it closer. As soon as it got within an inch of my ear I heard it and immediately jerked my phone away
It's blank. I'm an audio engineer I was able to pull up a 17.4k sine wave on my workstation and heard it just fine while I heard nothing on the video. Also I saw nothing on my peak meter when playing the video. So either my gear is broken or someone is a lying jerk.
Ryan Barber Same thing. I watched my computer's sound meter thingy (I am sooooo not an audio engineer!) and it didn't register that any sounds were being played.
They say only teenagers can hear this but I can right now in my 30s. The hearing loss probably only comes into play after 50 unless you've seriously damaged your hearing
Welcome to the world of continuous tinnitus... That's the sound I hear when there isn't much background noise like a fan and tv.
I just realized I have this. Honestly never really think of it. It's just always has been there.
Thank God I didn’t hear nothing. I love loud noisy music but i’m fairly young

Distortion is what we are hearing here and also noise. Most can't hear 17.4 kHZ
Personally I can't hear it, but my 4 year old covered his ears and said he can hear an alarm. 😂
i am over 50 and i can hear it fine :)
I'm 21 and I can hear it. It's really low but its there.
i'm 37 almost 38, i still can hear it
All I heard was the click at the start and the finish, and it makes me sad =(
19 years old, and I can't hear it either. Dang...
Its not you, there is no sound on this one.
TheOttomon
I did this test on CZcams and on a different site, and used volume control. No sound showed up on CZcams, where as the other site would show sound coming out of my head set. So no i dont think there is sound on this one.
I could hear a constant beeping
+solparadox There is.
I'm 50 and I hear it. Also hear those gopher/pet deterrence when somebody has them in their yard and that is definitely annoying, wah wah wah wah.
Oh thats what this sound was. I didn't even know it was an alarm. I just kinda felt it in my skull sometimes and thought I was crazy.
legit valid
Oddly enough, I can hear this. I'm 69, but I can hear what seems to be a very faint squealing noise, but whenever this plays, my eardrums hurt.
I am 18 and can hear it but I also hear some other faint lower frequency noises in the background like one that sounds like a computer's cooling system.
Only people 25 years and younger suppose to can hear it.
Taylor is 3 years old and said it’s too loud Lili is 5 years old said she only hear a little bit
So some people don't hear this? I can't believe that.
23 years old and i can hear it
I'm 25 soon to be 26 and I can hear it, its faint but I can hear it.
I'm 36, and I didn't realize that I could hear something until I paused the video. That said, the sound I heard, might just be a noise my earbuds make when you run current to them.
I hear a faint squeek that is high pitched when I hold the speaker up to my ear. Late 30s here.
I'll be 52 in April. Heard it just fine.
yeah this is bullshit
Oh man that's so cool
I'm 32 and I can hear it just fine.
Listening Point I'm 21 and I can't hear anything.
Am I the only one who is deaf specifically to a range between 14-15 kHz and 17.4 kHz but can hear from 17.4 kHz to 20 kHz?
Ohhh so that's what that is. yeah I hear that almost constantly. woo tinnitus!
24 and for sure hear it.
39 here and cant hear it on my phone. Maybe I will give it a go on my pc with headphones. I have been a construction worker for much of my life, so no surprise if I just cant hear it
I'm 35 and I can hear it. 😊
35 here, hearing it too. I am wondering if some of the older guys who are saying they still hear it are actually hearing the lower frequency noise that's also playing. As hearing this at our age is hella above average hearing, and mine fades at the high end of the 17000s.
@@aeixo2533 Now granted I had to hold my phone up to my ear to hear it but I could. Not sure if the younger folks can hear it without doing so!
34, can only hear it when its on max volume and right next to my ear.
Im officially old...
WARNING, I think I burnt, not blown, my tweeters in my pioneer floor standing speakers :( . Do not turn your volume up trying to hear this stupid tone. Tweeters are rated 20khz, but I still smell a burnt smell :(
Damn. I turned it on, phone was at relatively low volume. So I moved it closer. As soon as it got within an inch of my ear I heard it and immediately jerked my phone away
it heart my ears
I am 32 and i can hear it fine..but only if i put volume high
My god I can still hear this
It's blank. I'm an audio engineer I was able to pull up a 17.4k sine wave on my workstation and heard it just fine while I heard nothing on the video. Also I saw nothing on my peak meter when playing the video. So either my gear is broken or someone is a lying jerk.
Ryan Barber Same thing. I watched my computer's sound meter thingy (I am sooooo not an audio engineer!) and it didn't register that any sounds were being played.
This is complete BS. There is clearly sound coming into my audio software from this video.
There is definitely sound in this video.
@@Yosef9438 sound at 17.4k tho?
The way I can’t hear this anymore. Hag age in my mid 20s.
47 and it's plainly audible at 50%.
They say only teenagers can hear this but I can right now in my 30s. The hearing loss probably only comes into play after 50 unless you've seriously damaged your hearing
I'm 38. I heard it. Yeeees!!!!!!
32 and heard it clearly from my monitor's speaker but not through Mac Mini .... something going on!
