17,000 Hz hearing test
Press play to hear a pure 17,000 Hz sine tone. Keep the volume at a comfortable level — never turn it up to chase a tone you cannot hear.
Who can hear 17,000 Hz?
17,000 Hz is mostly heard by people under about 25 — it is the famous “mosquito tone” once used in devices meant to disperse teenagers, and as a ringtone adults could not hear.
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.
