If you want check your results with a hearing-test:

I have my computer near me so not having quiet room ... but give an idea ... low and highs frequency .. you are less sensitive to that. We hear but at high SPL.

Depending what headphone you using .. will differ. I was using HD650 + equinox cable.

With 44.1 you can test much more 17 khz in highs frequency.
You need 96 khz to have something trustable to 18 to 20 khz ...

pompon, I personally agree upon that concepts since all we can hear is about frequency and matching volume to make sound good or bad. Thanks for the link. It appears my ears can start hearing full frequency range before its original plot (I set the aural calibration to barely hearable level).

P.S. I personally found it amusing when someone who can't hear different between cable trying to make a law from in-class science way. (Eventhough manual test can't be confirmed for this cyber world since I can't dig up wikipedia for false proofs)

For Ringtones & hot real tones @ ultrasonic ringtones

It's impossible to hear above 22.1khz with mp3 format. It'll just cut all frequency above that range to dead silent sound. I can barely hear 21.1khz but barely silent like whink whink. I can't hear 22.4 since it's above 22.1 range.

WHAT? I can't hear anything below 50Khz...did you say something? The x-rays are really loud in here...

Some believe connectors make difference but not for cable.....ha ha ha...nice joke.

Once again, totally different spectrum. 50khz is classified as ultrasound. X-rays are apart of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is completely different.

Damn, this green tastes deafening...does this smell like rough to you?

Some people believe they can reliably hear 25kHz.

Ha ha ha. Nice joke.

Why are people even talking to this guy still? He's so clueless that he doesn't even know it . . . and refuses to believe anything that doesn't fit his his completely unscientific "feelings" about the subject.

You're arguing calculus with someone who doesn't yet understand basic multiplication.

I demand all the great scientists here showing me an example for how to prove your hearing here. So I can follow the rule that would make you guys pleasure to believe. Cmon, show it you mad wiki scientist. Can't show? Then don't BS me asking for something impossible. It's all BS snake oil for you guys anyway. (I think you couldn't differentiate between stock mini cable and $150 mini cable too, right?)

It's impossible for any digital audio using a 44.1kHz sampling rate to reproduce sounds above 22.05 kHz.

Similarly, it's impossible for digital audio using a 48kHz sampling rate to reproduce sounds above 24kHz.

That is why I keep asking you to provide a link to the sound files that you allegedly used to confirm your superhuman hearing. Since refuse to do so, I call fraud.

1. Go to an audiologist.

2. Have a real hearing test conducted.

3. Scan the resulting audiogram.

4. Post it here.

What a convenient argument. Accuse people of having bad hearing because they can't hear something that can't be shown to be there at all.

To answer your question, there isn't much of a way to do that accurately at home, so I defer to Febs' response.
