15,000 Hz hearing test
Press play to hear a pure 15,000 Hz sine tone. Keep the volume at a comfortable level — never turn it up to chase a tone you cannot hear.
Who can hear 15,000 Hz?
15,000 Hz is usually heard by people under about 40. Older CRT televisions whined at 15,734 Hz — if you remember hearing that whine in a quiet room, this is roughly the same pitch.
Hearing nothing?
Three things limit a test like this: your ears, your hardware, and your volume. Many laptop speakers cannot reproduce very high frequencies at all, so try headphones before drawing conclusions. For a proper sweep of your range, take the full hearing test.
