Audible frequencies and age
Humans can hear roughly 20Hz–20,000Hz. With age, high sounds are the first to fade.
- 17,000Hz+: usually up to the early 20s
- 15,000Hz: around the 30s
- 12,000Hz: around the 50s
Note: with earphones, start at a low volume and raise it slowly. This test is for fun and device checks and doesn't replace a medical hearing test. Some speakers may not play high frequencies.
