does anyone know why a 44898.48Hz tone is easier to hear than a 29966.1Hz tone.
something strange there i jsut notied, the 29966.1Hz makes oyu lose balance and you sorta of slant over... really odd. you can feel it piercing your had and when it stops you cna feel all this relief
Edit: These are Square waves not Sine
wow another odd thing, i cant hear a 201587.37Hz sine tone but i can hear 213574.38Hz ... :shocking:

One thing to note is that frequencies between 5-20Hz can apparently make your anal sphincter relax, causing you to shit yourself.
edit: the human hearing range of a healthy person is 20hz-20kHz, if this programs accurate which i would assume it is since its jsut genarting electrical pulses at the fspeed asked for i can hear 10240000Hz... thats 10.24GHz... sweet
No way could you hear sounds in the GHz range! Maybe you could 'feel' them somehow, but not hear them...
More importantly - and this devastated me when it hit home... years ago, I had a decent stereo and really loved my music. I'd forgotten about a particular album, and I slapped it on last night - I have better speakers, the same amplifier and CD player, and some belting headphones. There were bits of the song that were missing! MISSING!!!
I'm not claiming to know the track all that well, but there are certain effects that I KNOW are there, but I can no longer hear them. If I sit down and really, really listen, then I can make them out - they are where I remember them. But I'm just not hearing them properly - I think I'm hearing bits and bobs.
This really is quite crappy, as it is a clear indication that my hearing has started degrading. I'm only 27!!! It isn't fair! I've got loads of time left to listen to music, and already I'm losing bits of it!
Just as importantly, I've just realised that I'm only 26. So not only is my hearing up the swanny, my memory is faulty as well.
Do you think my creator will give me an RMA number for my faulty memory and audio components? Does anyone have a shipping address?
I'm miserable now
Nothing to do with being healthy - it's all down to the abuse you've given your ears, and how old you/they are. As you get older, the audible range diminishes - there will come a point where you only hear, say, 60hz to 15khz.
Listening to loud music, working on aeroplane engines, or having a long-term girlfriend with violently-audible orgasms will decrease the quality of your hearing even faster.
