Depends on the person. Personally, I can't hear much above 14kHz. Here's a youtube that runs 20Hz-20kHz if you'd like to check for yourself https://www.youtube

- M4v3R 11y agoIn your app, the "ultrasonic" signal is still audible to me. On that youtube video, I stop hearing stuff around 17,5kHz.
- brian-armstrong 11y agoPerhaps I should have labeled it author-ultrasonic ;) I haven't really found much data about the distribution of hearing capacities, so it's hard to tune this to be truly ultrasonic. The average sound equipment starts getting really distorted at around 19kHz, which doesn't leave much space above 17,5, unfortunately. Thanks for trying my demo!
- Nadya 11y agoYoutube compresses audio above 17kHz so it shouldn't be audible at all past that. Note: It's at some random value that isn't exactly 17kHz, I think it's 17.6kHz? So it no longer making sound for you at 17.5kHz could be because of that, not because of your hearing.
- gravypod 11y agoYep that's definitely true, but on average 17kHz is the cut off for 19-20. I know first hand that there are uncommon people, like me. Through an accident with way too many fireworks, or not enough fireworks depending on how you look at the situation, I hear a random high C noise when it's completely quiet. My hearing in my right ear cuts out at around 15kHz. But on average. anything under 17kHz is audible to the average teen-young adult.
- yxlx 11y agoMy range was from about 160 Hz to about 16 kHz, assuming that those are not the limits of the speakers on my tablet. I am 25 years old.
