19,000 Hz hearing test

Press play to hear a pure 19,000 Hz sine tone. Keep the volume at a comfortable level — never turn it up to chase a tone you cannot hear.

Who can hear 19,000 Hz?

19,000 Hz sits at the very edge of human hearing — usually only teenagers and people in their early twenties hear it, and even then only faintly. Your headphones also need to be able to reproduce it, which many cannot.

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.
