Entertaining for a short while but much better in a busy office as you can't really pin down the source.
I can hear all of them but I'm only 27 so kinda expected.
Have Fun

Not fair :( You've just shattered my illusion of eternal youth :(
Can only just get 15khz but the PFY can hear 16mhz.

*jealous* you get a PFY, although, can't be that young to only get to 16
I get 15khz but the guy i work with can't hear any.

Hmm, being bikers, wonder if there is a correlation to the frequency that can be detected and those who use ear plugs and those that don't etc.
That sounds rather obvious now I've wrote it out but what I mean is I wonder how obvious it is, or if the effect is negligible.

Funny you mention that, as the PFY is a ZX-6R rider who doesn't wear earplugs, although at 24 he aint that "Y", and he's passed the "P" stage too.
For the record, at 33 I *mostly* wear plugs

With headphones I can hear them, try this:

I could hear them all with headphones, put them on my phone & I have the hearing of a 60 year old lol
I could hear them all but found 16 the hardest...
I am 31 :)

Just about 17Khz.
However, the fan on my Mac is fairly loud.
I'm 35. Hell- I'm nearly 36. Wow!

Quite suprised I could hear that many after nearly 10 years of shooting, bikes and heavy metal.

The test is limited by your playback speakers don't forget, they may not be producing the sound at all or if they are, at much reduced level compared to another system.

All of them at 24 years old, but the last one was noticeable fainter than the rest...
