16 kHz I couldn't hear... thats where I ended
it doesnt depend on how old you are it depends on how loud your life was
Thank you now i can find another sine wave test
speaker might not be able to play too low frequency 😂
That is correct. It's part of the test. DM
Thank you for another great video Audio Masterclass
You're welcome. DM
Pretty good recording without much aliasing at highest frequencies.
Bose PC speakers but I am not sure about volume level, 1/4 volume knob is up. I'm 43. I could hear only starting with 63 Hz to 12.5 kHz. I have heater with a fan in background making noise.
This was fun...
I had the benefit of trying this with with both a fairly decent "Gaming" Headphones set and some Sennheisers' which I use for my Audio/Daw stuff...
As a middle aged guy, 20Hz to 12.5 kHz for me.
12.5 kHz - Good going.
I could (barely) hear 25 Hz and cutting off abruptly at 16 kHz. Sennheiser HD 599 headphones. 26 years old. Probably have become a tad less sensitive being extremely careless with it as a teenager with shooting guns, very loud concerts and guitar amps, etc. those upper mid frequencies were absolutely piercing.
31 to 12.5 on my $20 Sony
Headphones 😊. Update: with my eyes closed and focused I clearly heard 25 but nothing past 12.5. Also my windows are open, construction is next door and cars are driving by outside. However my cat suddenly came rushing in from outdoors and just stood there staring at me...😅
Sennheiser PX-100 IIi's are a hell of a budget headphone, I have to say. Reached down to 30Hz in the bass frequencies. My ears topped out at 10KHz, though.
Thank you
80 Hz to 2.5 kHs was it for me. That's what I get for always forgetting ear plugs when I was in Army, and 1/2 the time when I go to shooting range and working at the mill.
My earphone plays 20hz extremely well... I'm impressed ..😲
We found our CIA spy guys.
Actually you didn't give the volume adjustment STD for testing. Is the hearing ranges for each age at 100% volume? Or 50% etc.
POV: I tested with some cheap pioneer CL502 earphones at 50% YT volume and 100% laptop volume. I hear from 25HZ maybe 26 up to 14KHZ. Last but not least, I am 48!
I always dislike staying near old TVs, theres always a sound that nobody hears that I can clear listen to it even from far away, did some other tests and I can listen to about 18.5khz on the left ear, and 19.1khz on the right one, 24 year sold.
Used a Corsair gaming headset for this. Could barely hear at 20 Hz, but I started to hear fine at around 31 Hz. 20 kHz was also audible to me. I'm 20 years old and I feel like my hearing is complete garbage sometimes, but I don't know why.
all same here, except I can't hear from 20 Hz, 25 Hz, and 20 kHz
On headphones and speakers, how high is volume supposed to be set?
This is just a rough test and you would need to visit an audiologist for a true test of your hearing. For this test, set the volume so that the lower frequencies are clearly audible and comfortable - not too loud. Don't change the volume through the test.
I heard all of them but I'm feeling sick now... I don't know why.
Edit: 10 khz, 12 khz hurt my ears and 17khz sounds so weak but It still hurts my ears and it calmed down at 20khz
I have Sony whxb910n and I can hear 20-16000hz, I have never been able to hear more than ~17000 hz on any headphone at age 15
All the bands from 20Hz to 16kHz for me. (From other test I know my hearing upper limit is somewhere between 16,5kHz and 17kHz) I'm 25 yrs old and for the test I've used AKG k712Pro + Sonarworks Reference 4 with average profile for my headphones.
Thank you for your input. It's very interesting to have these comparisons.
Actually I believe youtube clips freq above 16k
@@ooxRAINB0WDASHxoo 18k
@@ooxRAINB0WDASHxoo It doesn't really matter though.
Remember that lossy compression algorhythm is about to wreak havoc on every single phookin' part of the tune (I mean, silences as well, especially those)
Adding obviously noise artifacts and other distortions where it previously was uninterrupted, perfect silence. It will now low level (bout -55 to -60dBFS) white noise whether you want it or not. Everywhere. On 20k, 22k and beyond. People will think they have superhuman hearning of 30k Hz xDDDDDDDDDDDDD
And it's only...
That god damned RUclips compression distortions XD
Evil...
The only way to finish is with some lethal puenta:
For all those *HEARING THINGS* above 30kHZ
Idk. but you guys must be liek dem bats.
With that echolocation.
Or something.
I don't know how would I explain it any other way...
:))
😆
The only think I do in ultrasounds
Is from time to time - fart.
Then it's the deadliest.
That ninja XDD
I mean.
Yeah.
All those "mehhs" are from people who know all too well what I'm on about!
😁
More and more people claiming it's 16k. Damn, might be a "my bad" type of situation for me then. But knowing this fact now, I can finally rest peacefully. AND above all else, knowing this fact, now I can choose to believe my truth that it actually is 18k Hz with peace of mind. :D EMAZING!
I started hearing it at 25, and at 16k, it stopped. I'm using decent grade headphones, and am in the late 30s.
20hz just sounds like noise then at 25hz you hear a rumble, then at 30hz, it's the sweet spot for subwoofers (on 8 inch studio monitors)
My phone has a software cutoff at 16khz. That sucks
i got 20hz to 12.5khz at age 15, bearing in mind that i also have mild hearing loss in one ear and severe in the other ear
me = 19khz :D
Dont use headphones
I can't hear 16 khz 😣
What notes are you playing?
The frequencies are given in the video. You can find the corresponding notes using the converter at newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/music/note/ DM
i(31) couldnt hear past 16 but i turned my volume down before I got there
white shark gh-1841 lion - Stupid cheap headphones but my boys... it trades blows in clarity with my he400se planar and beats it in bass. I hear everything, 20 k tho is a bit weird, probably can't hear it fully, only partially.
Immediately at 40Hz to 16KHz using speakers. My age = 49
Well done - both you and your speakers.
@@AudioMasterclass Haha! Thanks (I think?) although I was not using my best monitors on your video (Quested S7 pair), just some cheap bookshelf active speakers. I could hear just a fraction below 16Khz before I reached my limit.
Im 30 years and i could hear from 25 hz - 12.5 khz (maybe higher but to me the sound seemed to disappear at 16 khz :P (edit: on a logitech g933 gaming headset)
This is an interesting test but it works better with raw sine waves rather than RUclips's processed audio, so 25 Hz to 12.5 kHz should be fine although only an audiologist could confirm this individually. But you raise an interesting issue regarding gaming. What might be a good frequency response for gaming, including the chair? This - xrockeruk.com/products/evo-pro-led-4-1-x-rocker%C2%AE-pedestal-chair-5152601 - looks like it would be a fun experience.
@@AudioMasterclass That chair looks really comfortable, not gonna lie :D
EDIT:
I just got my pair of Sennheiser HD-280 pro, so to correct myself I can hear 20hz - 15 Khz :D
I could hear the lowest sound at about 25 Hz and the highest sound at or between 12 and 16 and I’m over 50
The progression intervals remind me of the dragon stages ( "*"- 4 ) in 8-bit Super Mario
It's literally basic sine wave btw music in super Mario Bros was mostly made by square wave synthesizers
I'm aged 47, i could hear up 12.5hz. 20hz made my subwoofer flap around. 😂
There's no sound after 12khz. I suspect that you exported the audio at a low bitrate then uploaded it and when it transcoded it created some compound compression.
The audio in the original video file is PCM, 24-bit, 48 kHz. This was encoded to AAC per RUclips's recommendation, 320 kbit/s, 48 kHz. RUclips re-encoded this to 128 kbit/s, 44.1 kHz. There is no audio above 12 kHz because the level of second harmonic in a square wave, which would be 24 kHz, is zero, and in any case 24 kHz is beyond the capability of 44.1 kHz sampling. DM
@@AudioMasterclass I export all my video files with pcm encoding and just upload them that way.
That's cool. RUclips will encode your audio. DM
@@AudioMasterclass RUclips encodes to opus at 160k which retains all the frequencies
You might take a look at ruclips.net/video/vge0GmVqUXg/видео.html for which the original audio was WAV 24-bit 192 kHz and uploaded as such. As you will see from the comments, not everyone hears every frequency. When I download the file from RUclips (which again is encoded to 128 kbit/s, 44.1 kHz) both 16 kHz and 20 kHz are absent. It doesn't matter to me because I can't hear these frequencies anyway, and I suspect it matters little to the general RUclips audience. DM
12.5 is what I hear 24/7. Thankfully it does not bother me.
im all about the bass
my thoroughly-vetted Creative Labs speakers play even lower than 20 hz
My jbl charge 5 only producing sound from 60 hz to 12,5 khz. 😅
2:30 When it hit 16 kHz, I didn't hear it anymore, but i still felt it. I'm guessing it's my brain picking up vibrations or something. Same with lower frequencies.
Huh, I managed to hear all of them.
yes 19 khz
I’m an audio engineer and I can hear 20Hz to 16k
My ears hurt it’s loud even at the top one I can hear 90000hz at least so that hurts my ears
Sine waves are harmonics like when you run your finger around the wet rim of a crystal glass.
Every wave is harmonic imo from square to sine
used skullcandy earbuds, could hear all except around 20khz
That's good going, and RUclips seems to filter out 20 kHz anyway. DM
0:22 if you just want the test
27 and can't hear 16kHz
my tinnitus rings at 12kHz, does that mean I won't be able to hear that ring when I get older lol.. that would be pretty cool
i dont think that is how tinnitus works... the deafing of getting older is caused in many circumstances due to over compression of the ear wax and many times can be fixed with a "proper" cleaning of the ears
He said this websites cuts off 16hz actually , so it’s not your hearing . Tinnitus can be accompanied with hearing loss and can get worse over time .
Don’t blast music over 70 dbs. Don’t be really close to loud sounds. Eq stuff to be more mid and bass heavy and. Not soo much high frequencies which are piercing . Don’t be afraid to use earplugs or sleep with them if your ears are bothering you. That will give them some recovery time
I can hear all the way from 20 hz to 20 khz. 😮
I can hear up to 20 in Bluetooth headphones on both sides.
25hz-16khz (on headphones) (13yr) (20hz is really faint) [up to 19.5khz on other tests... hmm]
Thank you for your input. If you can't hear above 16 kHz in this test it's probably RUclips that has low-pass filtered the audio, so nothing to worry about.
I could hear all up to 16
hey guys, RUclips cuts out all sounds over 16khz in the video. haha
Which is why the test goes above 16 kHz.
I couldn't hear anything past 16
i started hearing at 40hz then stopped at 20khz
my specker 3 hz low
i can only hear since 180hz
I could hear all of them. My ears are dead :
my headphones can play from 25Hz to 16KHz
40years old and i can listen until 12,5khz, bad very bad
80 Hz to 8 kHz only
BRO I HEARDALL OF THEM
*I'M GOD*
Meet u in hell
20Hz to 12.5kHz for me
If you're listening on speakers, 20 Hz is a good result.
80hz - 16khz
I didn't hear only 20KHz
i only hear from 200 Hertz to 16Kilohertz(i'm watching this in a laptop)
Bro, those 20 dollar Walmart off brand AirPods get that 25hz
Or you might be hearing distortion. DM
Depends on your Headphones response..... Like..... lol
Not quite sure what you mean here, but for clarity I'll say that we often get responses such as 'I can't hear the bass' or 'I can't hear above 5 kHz' and then they say there's something wrong with the video. On further exploration we find they have been listening on their laptop, tablet, or even their phone, or $5 earbuds from eBay. So it's a common thing in Audio Masterclass videos to advise that listeners use studio-quality monitors or headphones. DM
I'm 38yo cannot hear lower register til 125hz but can here nearly all the way to the top 16khz
16 kHz is good at the high end. 125 Hz at the low end is almost certainly down to your headphones or speakers. That's not really low enough for accurate monitoring although it would be useful to check the 'small speaker' sound of your mix. DM
Now with Bose headphones on and could hear nearly all of it ☺️ Phew I was worried I was going deaf
i started hearing at 40 hz
Not bad, there isn't much below 40 Hz that's musically useful.
This is most likely not your hearing but rather your listening equipment. A lot of speakers/headphones can not reproduce these frequencies so you will not hear them.
31hz to 16khz
Well done - you can hear everything you could possibly need. DM
My cat does not like this game.
160 Hz was the lowest I could hear. No idea if it's to do with my speakers or the fact that I have Ménière's disease, which is partly characterised by some unique hearing loss in the lower frequencies!
63-6.3k for me...and my monitor speakers....on my headphones 25-16k ... i am 47 and i dont use "q-tips"...once every 2-3 weeks i use water pressure to clean the ear wax ....much of the "old person deaf rate" is due to over use of cotton swaps in the ear and compressing the wax rather than actually removing it ...my headphones just recorded static early and nothing later.... if speaker were better maybe i could hear more
I'm not an audiologist so you can't take anything I say about hearing as accurate, but I do know something about loudspeakers and I have to wonder whether your tweeters are working. DM
12.5 khz max
You're doing well. You still have better than nine out of your original ten octaves.
I can hear them all lmao
31 hertz to 10 khertz
31 to 8khz. 😁
31 Hz is good at the low end, which is usually determined by the speakers or headphones. 8 kHz is a little low at the high end, but there's not much musically useful above that. An audiologist would provide a qualified opinion. DM
@@AudioMasterclass oh so 8khz is not low enough? Some here getting full range so back in the mud.😔
@@Sherlock245 8 kHz isn't high enough to hear the full audio range which is normally considered to be up to 20 kHz, although few people can hear above 15-16 kHz or so. If you look down the comments you'll see the typical ranges others hear.
@@AudioMasterclass well I have to confess my range can go up too 100,000 sorry I got lost!!! Let see who can beat that!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 you cannot run away from me I track you down!!!!
But 10,000 is a range someone has. Bit short.
this hurts my ears.
Your sound is sine waves 🤣
Correct. DM
