Amazing!

I can hear all those tones on headphones with ease and

I'm a high SPL audio junky cranking death metal tunes

until people bleed in the house.

To my surprise, others can't hear the upper tones

Are you using headphones? if not, try it. Maybe the PC speakers are janky.

I'm using crappy headphones and it's all good.

this is no where near real because all you gotta do is turn your speakers higher to hear it. like there needs to be a controled volume to actually be considered, right?

I used to have trouble passing hearing tests at our school. After 2 years of spl I am doing better than ever.

i truelly wonder if listining to music above 150db on a daily basis will have any long term effects

Fun fun fun....

Have done this 'test' on my 703, DM330i, and several Meyer pro speakers with a various tone generator(from a console sweep to a computer tone generator). 703 is about 21 is where it all cuts out, 330i 20 ish, PA 19 ish. By the way, this is at a constant signal level, not constant volume. This one on my stock Dell Laptop speakers I could just make out the 19kHz, left my headphones in Cincy and I'm 2 hours away from my speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif...

Anyway, my point being, you may or may not be able to hear that high, you could just not have a system that can reproduce that freq...

By the way incase you didn't figure it out the having to 'turn it up' is caused by the drop in responce of your speaker and your ears....

You're probably not hearing them, your ears are probably just ringing all the time and you THINK you're hearing them.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

BTW, without having headphones at my disposal I can't hear anything over 15khz.

Speaking of this, even after all the LOUD music I listen to... I had a hearing test yesterday.

I have perfectly normal hearing. Score great on the test //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
