Default Hearing test
http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/...-hearing-test/

Here is a list of sounds ranging from 8khz to 22khz

As you get older, you can't hear the higher sounds apparently. I can hear from 8-15khz, but anything higher I hear nothing. My housemate who is two years younger than me can hear up to 16.

What's the highest any of you can hear up to?

That's weird, I can hear right up to 22kHz. :s I wonder if it is easier with headphones, will try through speakers.

I still hear 22kHz with speakers instead of headphones. I'm surprised.
