How high can you hear

What's the max frequency you can hear? The highest I can is 18 kHz.

We did one of these before.  Your speakers or headphones will limit it.


Interesting site though.  Thanks for posting.


With my computers speakers.... and then I got out my "good" headphones... same result. 
14  I can hear that.  12 is louder for sure.
15 I can still hear but it's really quiet.
16 Nothing.   I just hear clicks from the start and stop on some of the higher ones.

Dang....


Then I'll be sitting here, listening to 15+ over and over, possibly cranking the volume up.....  Someone who can hear that will be wondering why I keep playing the clip over and over.

I'm definitely around 14-15.  It's interesting though that I can hear 15 on the first link, but not 15 on the first youtube video I posted.
