I can hear all of them, the 22khz was just almost out of my range. I've always been sensitive to hearing that high frequency hum of turned on electronics, esp CRTs.

well I'm deaf, I can only hear up to 12. To be fair though, I have yet to sleep since the day before.

I think it makes a big difference what kind of headphones or speakers you're using. The first time, I did it with no headphones at all, the second time I wore headphones and with headphones, I could (barely) hear the whole range.

Here's another thing I've noticed. I had an easier time hearing the 22 frequency than a couple of them below it. Makes me wonder if some of the frequencies were mistakenly placed out of order.

I can hear up to around 15khz. 14khz is the last one that's clearly audible at normal volume, but I can just barely hear 15 and 16 if I turn the volume all the way up.

I'm 22, but I've been basically deaf in my right ear since I was 14. My hearing loss is probably a little accelerated.

I can hear up to the 17 with the speakers turned up.

But I do hear some sort of strange sound at the 20 and 21...

I wonder how much of this is due to the very basic speakers on my computer monitor... as I'm usually really sensitive to really high pitches.

I can Clearly hear up to 18, then I can very faintly hear the rest, but it isn't consistent enough.

I can't hear above 2800 Hz. I can't even get close to any of those without my hearing aids.

Damn laptop speakers. >":E
