I'm paraphrasing the website, which is down due to too much bandwidth.
There's a study that says as we get older, our hearing threshhold drops. The max an average human can hear is 20,000 Hz. The theory is that as you get older than teenage years, your max hearing goes down. The person who did this study thought it would be a good way to get rid of annoying teenage loiterers without bothering adults. Anyway, a guy created a sound test that uses Flash. You can see for yourself what your hearing threshhold is.
Mine is at/around 15000 Hz. I know, i listened to too much of that devil music, Rock N' Roll!

16,000Hz when listening to my laptop normally.
17,000Hz when on high volume.
In either case, I beat u! Finally!!! i beat u at something. :P
Man, I though I had really good hearing, but I could only hear up to 14,000 Hz too! Time to clean out that 'ol earwax... =P
The funny thing is, when I played the higher frequencies (16kHz and above), I heard lower-pitched sounds. Maybe the tones were interacting with my computer's noise to create some weird resonance...
