Mosquito Ringtone

You are a thirtysomething

You’re a little frustrated that you can’t hear all the tones that the young ‘uns can but will be more than happy if it means you don’t have to listen to their damn ringtones on the bus anymore. The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 14.9kHz

Test your own hearing at Ultrasonic ringtones

It’s nice to be 30 something, while in my mid-40s. I think I could hear higher pitches, but since I have tinnitus in both ears, and 30% hearing loss in my left, it is hard to tell. 14.9 is just below one of my tinnitus pitches, so perhaps the next level above is what I hear everyday anyway.

I commented on Aleja's first, then saw that you did it, so now I'm commenting the same thing for you. :)

At least you're still human. I did it, and it told me "You are a dog. Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human." ... just because I could hear up to the 21.1kHz one. Maybe it's because I have crazy good hearing, or maybe because I don't have speakers and instead use headphones so the sound is drilled directly into my ears - I don't know for sure.... but it's odd to me told I'm inhuman by a website. Usually that's just for my friends to say. ;)

headphones make a difference. I should try it again with 'good' headphones, as I tried first with the speaker, then with regular phones. as for mosquitos, that's cause you're from NB... special adaptation and all.
