Test your hearing

[Tricklozen]

I recalled this test after reading the Test your speakers (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15261) post just now.

Test your hearing:

Instructions and warnings are all on the same page.
Do read them all.


I took this test some years ago, remembering to take a screen shot of the results (which I have to dig up from some backup in any case). I don't have those cheap headphones anymore, so that would probably distort any attempt at doing a comparison today, since they would have a different frequency response.

It would be interesting if people posted a screen shot of their.. curves, though.

(The web site/document also has a lot of information on the physics of various instruments. See the menu on the left for that.)

-36 (30 hz) -39 (45 hz) -48 (60 hz) -63 (90 hz) -69 (125 hz) -75 (187 hz) -75 (250 hz) -78 (375 hz) -78 (500 hz) -78 (750 hz) -78 (1 khz) -75 (1.5 khz) -81 (2 khz) -78 (3 khz) -78 (4 khz) -75 (6 khz) -78 (8 khz) -66 (12 khz) -42 (16 khz)

I tried seeing what the lowest db that I could hear all the freqs was and this is what I got. Might not be too accurate. Interesting test though.

Interesting. Like the guy says this really depends on the frequency response of your headphones as well, which will affect the result to some extent.
