If you want to know what the sounds mean in terms of every day hearing, here's an audiogram of familiar sounds where you'll notice that the normal testing range for hearing is from 125-8000 hZ -- way below the 10,000 hZ on the above website.

ACES! Another post by Arttemis:
The samples above 22khz are .wav files.EDIT: I can hear to 18k with my right ear, and 17k with my left.
Yeah, he changed them last night sometime after I posted. Enough people pointed out the issue it seems.

There was much rejoicing when `Doc said this:
I can hear up to 17k easily. For 18k I had to turn the volume up. Apparently 19k is out of my range, though it gives the vague sensation of pressure. Anything 19k and up, all I hear is the flickers at the start and end, along with background noise from the computers around me.
Almost exactly the same as me, except I had to turn up the volume to hear 19k, but can hear 18k just fine.

A sleep deprived Mr. John Q. Gainsborough Esq. III stammered:
I can't hear past 17k.
It did get really hard to hear them after 17k though, but I definitely heard the hum. Suddar fucked around with this message on 06-13-2006 at 09:20 PM.

When they turned on the Infinite Improbability Drive, Suddar stammered,
It did get really hard to hear them after 17k though, but I definitely heard the hum.
Suppose all those years of not seeing to many concerts paid off.... yeah, that's it. I can hear annoying noises now.
