I'm not doing this one. It would just depress me.

[porcy62]

Wow!!! I can hear it at 47, now I can kill the first one who doubt about my audiophile's skills!

[JohnS]

I'm not doing this one. It would just depress me.

Give it a try. I can hear it, and I'm an oldie!

[CJ Shearn]

I can hear it perfect. I'm 28.

[porcy62]

But can you hear 'Paul is dead' on the background?

I did it. Now I'm depressed

[Dave James]

I can hear it. That's good news since my S.O. claims my hearing is all but gone. This confirms what I've been telling her; that my internal settings are simply incompatible with the frequency of her voice.

[Chuck Nessa]

I can hear it fine.

[medjuck]

I'm 67 and didn't hear a thing.

[ejp626]

Yes, we did this before. I couldn't hear it, but it turned out that my headphones were turned off. When that was fixed, I could hear it just fine. Well past 25.

[AllenLowe]

almost 56, heard it-

[Van Basten II]

Currently 39, I'm blaming my speakers

After 28 years in front of band students and 30 years of gigs, I don't want to be reminded of the frequency range I've lost - I'm all too aware.

[Dan Gould]

Can't hear it at 44 and I am pretty certain I wouldn't have heard it at 14 either.

[rostasi]

The partials are louder than the single 14k sine tone

that I think that they want you to try hearing,

so I guess, yeah, I can hear it at age 51.

[paul secor]

Heard it.

[.:.impossible]

had to turn it off immediately. heavy-handed. while i have tried listening to her solo works, i definitely prefer her with other musicians.

this is a good one.

[mikelz777]

Played it on my computer speakers and couldn't hear a thing. My 13 year-old daughter could hear it and found it really annoying. I then plugged in the headphones and could hear it just fine.

[rostasi]

this is a good one.

Yes it is! I think Sachiko plays to all age groups with her tones.

I've always tried to add some upper-range frequencies to my work,

but it has to be 16 to 19K to be fully effective for those that I call

the "teenage ampst" generation.

[trane_fanatic]

34 with tinnitus and I can hear it very clearly.

[Jazzmoose]

52. Hear what?

I'll be damned; the speakers were turned down. I can hear it fine, and it's not the highest frequency I can hear, I'm sure. Did they do this right?

[Chuck Nessa]

I wondered that too. I'm almost 66 and had no problem.

I should mention, in 1965 when the army was trying to draft me, a hearing test was part of the physical. You put on headphones and you were to raise a hand when you could hear something, right or left. I kept both hands raised the whole time to the consternation of the test administrator. I told him I could hear a low level hum cycling throughout and he gave up.

[rostasi]

oh sheeesh...i just realized what it is:

"Download the MP3 directly"

ok, so much for that test...

[Chuck Nessa]

Good catch. But that's what the kids and some "idiots" listen to.
