Hearing Freq range tests...

[hedge]

Just wondering if anyone knows any good samples for checking how far my hearing goes in terms of freq. response.
Also, just at what frequency does a dog whistle normally operate at?

Bass Mekanik does some really freaky shit for testing your stereo gear
he has his own line of equipment too.
phone an Audiologist for the whistle frequency, they know all this stuff.
while you're at it ask why hearing two dog whistles at the same time makes your ears 'warble' :cross-eye

I belive 21K. I used to be able to hear them. It was a thin scream at the edge of my awareness. Naturally, as I got older, that capacity disappeared.

foobar has a tone generator included, but I'm not sure its working correctly, or if my headphones (senn hd497's) are just bringing up distortion, but even at 22kHz I can easily pick up *something*, but it doesn't sound much like the extreme high pitched sound ya would expect. Would it be safe to assume that at the limits of ones hearing the sound perception would begin to disappear?

It's fair to assume that, at least it's true in respect of low frequencies. That's why you only need one subwoofer. Low sounds aren't directional. I'm not sure if that holds with really high frequencies though.

Are you sure the "thin scream at the edge..." is coming from outside. :carrot:

Pretty much.

Yup. I can tell because that sound is very sharply defined from the little voices that on occasion tell me I should clean my guns today. :) :) :)

Hey brian, why did you delete the message? It wasn't offensive... (the board is remarkably efficient at sending alerts when new messages are posted)

And yeah, my sensayuma definitely misses the boat big time sometimes, especially when I'm stressed... :)
