So, how high of a frequency can you hear?

Post by xxpenguinxx »

So I was reading something on sampling rates, and I eventually ended up here:

So, how high can you hear? I can hear the 19000Hz and lower, but not 20000Hz.

I just did the test on my better headphones. At 20k my ears just started ringing :e_o:

Most headphones Amps only put out from 32 - 20000 Hz (the general range of human hearing) although the better types of equipment can go from 28 - 22000Hz the highest frequencys can't be heard on their own, but you can hear how they change the frequencies under the upper threshold,
Mixing 2 sources you can get a+b a-b & b-a,
I might try it, see how much damage I've done. But I do have a couple of signal generators I could test with too
