Some people can go up to 28khz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range#Humans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range#Humans
> Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz[11] and as high as 28 kHz
It's just a fraction of an octave over 22khz, but that probably explains why some people swear that 96khz sources sound better than the CD.
Related: When I ripped my DVD-A collection, (I like music in surround,) I downsampled everything to 48khz, 16-bit. Later, if I played the original 96khz version, I did notice a slight crispness to the music. It's anecdotal, and I thought it was placebo effect, until I came across the above link.
