Most of you who claim hearing past 15k or so are hearing harmonics mostly.....

Harmonics may extend to 50K or even 100K but they are very low in energy and not missed. I am 51 and my hearing stops at about 15K but it has never stopped my appreciation of music. There were some experiments back in the late 70s (MURAOKA, YAMADA, AND YAMAZAKI, 1978) where music rich in high frequencies (above 20k) was played back on speakers which had a range to 35K and different low pass fillters were added to cut off the higher frequencies. Only when the filter was set at 14K did some of the listeners reliably detect the low pass filter, at 16K nobody reliably detected it. So relax ! |
