Test your hearing (pg. 2)

I could hear all the frequencies sans the last one. However, I could not differentiate the 2 tones being played in the second test, not even the last loop of them.
What does that mean exactly?
I'm 22 but I do listen to music far to loud for my own good. |

It means you have either a rather poor sense of successive pitch or a really poor soundcard / speakers. Or maybe you were just playing the test file too softly. |

Excellent test :) Thanks for posting mate.
First test i could hear all frequencies bar apart from the last one.
The second test, i could actually hear the difference in the first pair and a more noticeable difference in the second pair of tones.

first test i head 1-4 clearly and 5-6 at slightly higher volume, mind you my pc is too nosy and creates a lot of ambient noise
second test i could hear first pair but definitely not as clear as second |

im 23.
frequency test:-
i could hear 1-6 (5 was significantly quieter than 4, and 6 was half my percieved volume that 5 was..)
did anyone else find this? or were they all pretty much the same percieved volume?
difference test:-
no difference between the first pair. but i could detect a slight difference in the second. as they progressed the difference was noticeable, but it was only by the fifth that i noticed any real change.. |

i heard them all but as they progressed the volume was lower. dont no if that means im deafer or what. |

I've had a sinus infection for months. And my ears are all ed up. My right ear doesn't hear as well as my left. And i've been taking anti-biotics for a few days.
Thought I'd complain. This thread seem relevent enough to do that. |

I'm out after 18k on the frequency threshold. I'm an average 20-year-old. \o/
Oddly enough, my speakers are at my production level, and some of the higher frequencies still kinda hurt. I guess they have more room to make the sounds louder in that test.
I could almost tell the difference between the second pair. It was very, very slight, and were it not a sine wave and were I not listening closely, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I was actually told last year by one of my music teachers that most people can hear a differnce of 10c. |

It's pretty highly dependent on the kind of sound you use, how close together you play the sounds, etc. In fact, if you play the sounds right on top of one another, many people can hear really tiny differences (even one cent) because the two waves will seem to "beat" against one another. |

Interesting. At first I couldn't even hear the 16 kHz sample, then I realized it was probably my crappy speakers and plugged in my monitor headphones and could hear it up to 19 kHz (had to turn the volume way up and it was more like static plus a headache - to be conservative I'd say I'm probably limited at around 18.5.
Second sample I could hear the difference on the first set. The second sine was a few cents lower than the first. But then I played the oboe (hence tuned the whole orchestra) for many years so the sensitivity was probably acquired over time. |

I could hear 1 through 6... I put the file in cool edit to analyze it... there seems to be no 7th tone... ;) at least it didn't show as a wave inside of all the ambient noises and cracks. One should be able to, as in all of the other clusters or bursts, spot or isolate the sinus that generates the tone for the test but it isn't there.... Intentional?? don't know. Don't belive me... Check it out for yourself.... As for all of you wondering about the level. 1 to 6 are all the same but number 7 is at about 60% of that
I heard difference at the second pair of notes...
I'm 35.... and dead...:)
