How old is your hearing?
Interesting little test based on one of those Mosquito ringtone things that are suppsedly only audible by teenagers and children.
I can just hear 15KHZ, and everything lower that that is very clear, which according to the chart is quite good for an old bid like me.

I can report though that my cats can hear all of the sounds very clearly and now hate me. One of then even moved very slightly.

Of course! I remember now.
You did his Myspack. When you hit 32 like me your memory will start to go, as well as your hearing.

yeah, I did one for his old band
I daresay I shall be doing something for the new band when they start gigging and suchlike. As well as the other band that includes me as well.
My memory is mostly f00cked by now anyway, so once I'm over the hill like you I expect it'll be totally gone.

Just faded out at 18khz
Loud enough for me to tell it was playing, but nowhere near as loud as 17 and down.
I remember the hearing tests for RAF Pilot Selection, where they played various notes in your ears (random tones, random ear) where you had to click a button when you heard a tone. Sounded not too dissimilar to these tones.
For extra freakout, try playing two tones at the same time.

I lose it at 16khz, but that's just playing it on me laptop,
headphones seemed overkill considering the subject.
Interesting tho, cheers.

i definitely hear something at 17/18
those kind of frequencies are like electricals on standby, i can hear tv's on standby.
Edit: I just tried with my speakers and they are easily heard, more so than my headphones. So i'm guessing output device has allot to answer for here.

I can only just hear the 15khz one
need to try this with decent speakers or 'phones though, as any sound is drowned out by my speakers' inbuilt hum (and the sound of my tea cooking - nom nom nom)

I could just hear 15 too
I did one a while back and my mate's girlfriend claimed she could hear every one of them, so I muted my computer and she said she could still hear them. Lying bastard!!

I'm 40
and I can hear them all.
There's a mosquito unit on a shop near me, I don't go there as I find its noise as uncomfortable as the local chavs do (they don't go there either)

16 was the highest I could hear.
But then I'm a semi-crumbly.

Is it borked?
11KHz sounds the highest pitched to me
18 is like a jackhammer on helium & more like 8 than 18 really

EDIT: nice find though :)
