    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.

      CZcams 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.

  • @TimKaseyMythHealer
    @TimKaseyMythHealer Před 9 lety +3

    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.

  • @SterlingEngle

  • @sebastienflori3842
    @sebastienflori3842 Před 11 lety +1

    CZcams cuts off at 16kHz. It sometimes cuts off even lower due to sampling rate issues. Nobody can hear anything after 15500Hz ^^

  • @MaxLohMusic
    @MaxLohMusic Před 11 lety

    It's the video itself because of CZcams 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.

  • @08Ultrasonic
    @08Ultrasonic Před 9 lety +3

    Not only are there limitations to CZcams 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.

  • @GursimranReehal
    @GursimranReehal Před 11 lety

    It's due to either mismatched drivers or ears. Most probably mismatched drivers as the frequency response of each driver is slightly different.

  • @sebastienflori3842
    @sebastienflori3842 Před 11 lety +1

    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..)

  • @Tenajeh
    @Tenajeh Před 5 lety

    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.

  • @GingerDrums

  • @LavaVids
    @LavaVids Před 11 lety

    CZcams 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...

  • @MaxLohMusic
    @MaxLohMusic Před 11 lety

    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.

  • @linuxgeex
    @linuxgeex Před 4 lety

    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.

    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.

    Lol at people hearing over 15500Hz here. The sine sweep stops there. Use a better site to test your equipment/ears since the compression here simply cuts out all the highest frequencies and before even reaching the roughly 15,5KHz mark it starts to distort audibly due to the low sampling rate.

    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?

    If the audio pans left to right within every 1kh, does that mean my ears are out of sync?
